The Importance of Interdigitating Screw Fixation of the Trochlea in Double Plate Osteosynthesis of Low Transcondylar Distal Humerus Fractures: A Biomechanical Study

The trochlea is of great importance for the stability of the elbow and its fixation in low transcondylar fractures of the distal humerus is especially challenging. The aim of this study was to determine the optimal trochlea fixation in double plate osteosynthesis of intraarticular distal humerus fractures.
