Article
Open AccessInfluence of rotator cuff preload on fracture configuration in proximal humerus fractures: a proof of concept for fracture simulation
In regard of surgical training, the reproducible simulation of life-like proximal humerus fractures in human cadaveric specimens is desirable. The aim of the present study was to develop a technique that allow...

Article
Open AccessTrans-fracture approach for ORIF of coronal shear fractures of the distal humerus
Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of comminuted coronal shear fractures of the distal humerus is challenging. When a concomitant lateral condyle fracture is present, it may be used for a trans-fractu...

Article
Open AccessComputed tomography-based angle measurements of the sagittal capitulum and trochlea position in relation to the humeral shaft
The radiologic evaluation of the sagittal angulation of the distal humerus is commonly based on standard lateral radiographs. However, lateral radiographs do not allow to examine the lateral angulation of the ...

Article
Open AccessLocking suture repair versus ligament augmentation—a biomechanical study regarding the treatment of acute lateral collateral ligament injuries of the elbow
Lateral collateral ligament (LCL) tears are frequently observed in fractures and dislocations of the elbow. Recent biomechanical evidence suggests that additional ligament augmentation may improve repair stabi...
