AbstractBackground: Restoration of painless and satisfactory elbow function after a fracture of the distal humerus requires anatomic reconstruction of the articular surface, restitution of the overall geometry of the distal humerus, and stable fixation of the fractured fragments to allow early and full rehabilitation. Methods: We studied 25 consecutive patients with distal humerusintercondylar (AO Type C) fracture, included in study as per inclusion criteria. The following methods of statistical analysis have been used in this study. The data collected was entered in Microsoft Excel and Statistical analyses were performed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 20.0 software. Results: A prospective study was conducted in sapthagiri hospital between September 2015 to May 2016. We studied 25 consecutive patients with distal humerusintercondylar (AO Type C) fracture, included in study as per inclusion criteria. Conclusion: Operative treatment with rigid anatomical internal fixation should be the line of treatment for all AO type C fractures, more so in young adults as it gives best chance to achieve good elbow function. Stable fixation allows early, active and aggressive postoperative mobilization.
