 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 14 Adult distal humerus fractures analysis of Abstract of adult distal humerus fracture fixation methods and therapeutic effect. [Method] in January 2002 ~ June 2004 Surgical treatment of adult patients with distal humeral fractures in 23 cases, 16 males and 7 females, aged from 17 to 42 years old, with an average 32 years old, of which three cases of old fracture, open fracture in 3 cases. AO / ASIF classification: A type 3 cases, B-4 cases, C-type in 16 cases. According to different types of fractures and internal fixation using the corresponding functional exercise. Regular follow-up and months after surgery 1,3,6 film to understand the fracture healing and joint function recovery. [Results] 23 cases were followed up for 6 to 24 months, an average of 13 months, 23 patients were healed fractures, all of elbow function in patients with satisfactory recovery. [Conclusion] The distal humerus fractures in adult patients are fully exposed, anatomic reduction of articular surface, in the upper condyle solid fixed, obtain a satisfactory therapeutic effect. Keywords: adult distal humerus fracture fixation Distal humerus fractures in adults, the incidence is not high, accounting for 2% of the total fractures. Such fractures often are the comminuted intra-articular, due to the integrity of articular surface damage, and often accompanied by a wide range of relevant sections capsule and soft tissue tear, handling more difficult [1]. Author from January 2002 ~ June 2004 Surgical treatment of adult patients with distal humeral fractures in 23 cases and conducted follow-up to be from the surgical methods and treatment evaluation. 1 Data and methods 1.1 Clinical data The 23 cases in this group, 16 males and 7 females, old fracture in 3 cases (one exception to hospital surgery 9 months nonunion, 1 case with cerebral injury delays, and 1 case closed reduction failed); open fracture 2 cases, the rest is closed fra
