Abstract: (1297 Views)
Cornold process of the elbow is one of the main keystone for the stability of this joint, which is fracture endangered the elbow stability. Fracture of the base of cornold, by (type lll Regan and Morrey classification) usually is followed by instability of elbow and D.J.D and limitation of motion are complications which may affect the outcome of the treatment. Interfragmentary screw, suturing the fragment, distraction and external fixator are well known attempts for reducing these complications. Buttress plate technique with one third semitubular plate maybe an alternative way for management of this type of fracture, good fixation and early motion is achieved by this technique but respect for adjacent soft tissue anatomy is time consuming and must be considered.
