XXXX of the humeral condyles in adults   : results of surgical treatment.

@entity1 @entity158 @entity174
@entity174 of the humeral condyle is exceptional in adults. The purpose was to analyze the results of surgical treatment by open reduction and internal fixation without ligamentous repair. There were six @entity1 with an average age of 31 years. According to the AO classification, five @entity174 were classified as AO type B1 and one as B2. Dislocation was reduced in emergency before osteosynthesis. Postoperatively, the joint was held immobile with a brace for 25.40 days. Five @entity1 were reviewed after a mean follow-up of 52.96 months. The median arc of flexion/extension was 104.80   and 157.8   for pronation-supination. All elbows were stable and all @entity174 were consolidated. Two elbows were @entity158 . The results were satisfactory in five @entity1 . The elbow stability can be ensured only by the synthesis of bone structures. Surgical treatment should restore exact anatomy between the condyle and trochlea. This protocol may provide a joint stability and satisfactory results.
