Their mean age was 35 years (19 to 56). The mean follow-up was for 28.5 months (15 to 46) and the mean time to union of the fractures was four months (3 to 7). No patient reported difficulties with activities of daily living or symptoms of instability of the elbow. The mean flexion was to 135 degrees (125 to 145) with a mean flexion contracture of 15 degrees (10 to 30). The mean pronation was 70 degrees (60 to 80) and mean supination 79 degrees (70 to 90). Only three patients had mild pain and loss of strength. Five patients had excellent and five good results with a mean Broberg and Morrey index score of 94.5 points (84 to 100). Our results compare favourably with those previously reported and the technique is thought to be a practical alternative to plate fixation in fractures with extreme comminution.
