Аннотация
Are the well established methods for operative treatment of fractures about the elbow and their results also applicable to elderly people with osteoporosis? In a retrospective study 23 of 32 patients with 33 operatively stabilized fractures of the distal humerus and the proximal radius and ulna, could be reviewed and personally questioned. The fracture type, the complications and the range of motion of the elbow were analysed and classified. Over 75% of the cases presented with a good to excellent range of motion with no increase of complications. 80% of the patients were satisfied with their result after surgical treatment of the fracture. Fractures of the elbow in elderly people with osteoporosis may be sucessfuly treated by ORIF. It appears important to start early with postoperative physiotherapy. Thereby good functional results can be expected without an increase of complications.
