Fracture of the distal humerus are complex and challenging injuries to treat. In this study we used distal humeral posterolateral LCP system, which is an anatomically shaped angular stable system. The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate clinical outcome after ORIF with posterolateral LCP plate. METHODS: 24 Consecutive patients with distal humerus fractures treated with posterolateral LCP between
BACKGROUND: Cut wrist repair is commonest procedure done in Hand surgery, inspite of that there is dearth of literature on long term functional outcome & social rehabilitation of such patients, so we decided to study our patients retrospectively with self-devised scale which not only incorporated the combined assessment of nerve & tendon but also the patients self-assessment of his status of recovery. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We retrospectively studied a cohort of 32 patients by searching through hospital records from 2010 to 2013. RESULTS: Most common age group 21-30 yrs, M:F=9:1, glass cut most common injury, sensation improved with time but return of sensation not seen in period of observation, MN has better recovery than UN, except 2 patients significant 2PD was not observed. Cold intolerance/paraesthesia is a common problem in patients & persists for long, tendon function recovery is good to excellent at wrist level, majority of our patients were satisfied & were able to return to their original vocation within 1 yr.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
