The top of the humerus is part of the shoulder joint, and the bottom is part of the elbow joint. A distal humerus fracture is a break involving the lower part of the humerus that articulates with the elbow. These fractures are less common, require a higher energy mechanism to occur, and are more complex to repair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"\u03ba\u03ac\u03c4\u03b1\u03b3\u03bc\u03b1-\u03c0\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03c6\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03ba\u03bf\u03cd-\u03b2\u03c1\u03b1\u03c7\u03b9\u03bf\u03bd\u03af\u03bf\u03c5-\u03b1\u03af\u03c4\u03b9\u03b1\">What causes a distal humerus fracture?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">These fractures are often caused by <strong>high-energy trauma<\/strong>, such as motor vehicle accidents or falls from a height. They can occur at any age. In older patients, they are often low-energy fractures after a fall. In older patients, they are also usually comminuted and very close to the joint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"\u03ba\u03ac\u03c4\u03b1\u03b3\u03bc\u03b1-\u03c0\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03c6\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03ba\u03bf\u03cd-\u03b2\u03c1\u03b1\u03c7\u03b9\u03bf\u03bd\u03af\u03bf\u03c5-\u03c3\u03c5\u03bc\u03c0\u03c4\u03ce\u03bc\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1\">What are the symptoms of a distal humerus fracture?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Symptoms of a distal humerus fracture include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Elbow pain<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Swelling and bruising in the elbow<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bruising can track down the arm by gravity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inability to bend or straighten the elbow<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Numbness and tingling of the hand and fingers, if one of the nerves is bruised.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"\u03ba\u03ac\u03c4\u03b1\u03b3\u03bc\u03b1-\u03c0\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03c6\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03ba\u03bf\u03cd-\u03b2\u03c1\u03b1\u03c7\u03b9\u03bf\u03bd\u03af\u03bf\u03c5-\u03b4\u03b9\u03ac\u03b3\u03bd\u03c9\u03c3\u03b7\">How is a distal humerus fracture diagnosed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The doctor will see you, take a detailed history and perform a physical exam focused on your neurovascular status, taking care not to cause any further pain and discomfort. An x-ray is usually sufficient to confirm the diagnosis.

However, conservative treatment for distal humerus fractures (the so called \u201cbag of bones\u201d treatment) has been largely abandoned nowadays, as results have been pretty bad. Most distal humerus fractures today need and get surgery. Surgery involves an incision in the back of your elbow through which the surgeon puts the bones back together and fixes them with plates and screws (ORIF).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-03d69d76 alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><div class=\"uagb-container-inner-blocks-wrap\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-23db4bbd\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-55c5a674 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DHF1.jpeg \" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 150px\" src=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DHF1.jpeg\" alt=\"\u039a\u03ac\u03c4\u03b1\u03b3\u03bc\u03b1 \u03c0\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03c6\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03ba\u03bf\u03cd \u03b2\u03c1\u03b1\u03c7\u03b9\u03bf\u03bd\u03af\u03bf\u03c5 1\" class=\"uag-image-3170\" width=\"696\" height=\"439\" title=\"\" role=\"img\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-6ae7fa09\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-9b782e2f wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DHF2.jpg \" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 150px\" src=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DHF2.jpg\" alt=\"\u039a\u03ac\u03c4\u03b1\u03b3\u03bc\u03b1 \u03c0\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03c6\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03ba\u03bf\u03cd \u03b2\u03c1\u03b1\u03c7\u03b9\u03bf\u03bd\u03af\u03bf\u03c5 2\" class=\"uag-image-3171\" width=\"408\" height=\"357\" title=\"\" role=\"img\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-6faa2248\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-90b5f38c wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DHF3.jpeg \" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 150px\" src=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DHF3.jpeg\" alt=\"\u039a\u03ac\u03c4\u03b1\u03b3\u03bc\u03b1 \u03c0\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03c6\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03ba\u03bf\u03cd \u03b2\u03c1\u03b1\u03c7\u03b9\u03bf\u03bd\u03af\u03bf\u03c5 3\" class=\"uag-image-3172\" width=\"632\" height=\"641\" title=\"\" role=\"img\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-311dedf0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-84687e04 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DHF4.jpeg \" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 150px\" src=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DHF4.jpeg\" alt=\"\u039a\u03ac\u03c4\u03b1\u03b3\u03bc\u03b1 \u03c0\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03c6\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03ba\u03bf\u03cd \u03b2\u03c1\u03b1\u03c7\u03b9\u03bf\u03bd\u03af\u03bf\u03c5 4\" class=\"uag-image-3173\" width=\"663\" height=\"648\" title=\"\" role=\"img\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Sometimes, especially in the elderly, if the fracture is very comminuted, the bone quality is not good and the bones are not fixable, an elbow replacement is more appropriate. This can be a total elbow arthroplasty or a hemiarthroplasty, based on the surgeon\u2019s preference. In any case after surgery, early mobilization is encouraged to avoid stiffness and regain the normal elbow range of motion. Your surgeon and physiotherapist will create an individualized rehabilitation program for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Distal humerus fractures can be pretty spicy and difficult to fix, and they should be treated by an experienced elbow surgeon.
