摘要
Isolated fractures of the distal humerus are rare. Their diagnosis is often late, and treatment has progressed but serious complications may occur. We conducted a retrospective study of a series of 10 cases at the Department of Orthopedic and Traumatologic Surgery of the Ibn Sina University Hospital in Rabat over a 4-year period, from January 2018 to January 2022. All our cases were treated surgically with Herbert screws. The functional, clinical and radiological outcome was satisfactory with a return to pre-fracture activity in all patients.
