| Abstract | Fractures of the capitellum, particularly coronal shear fractures, are difficult to manage. The challenges are adequate surgical exposure, proper anatomic reduction, and stable fixation of these fractures. Our study included 10 patients with a coronal shear fracture of the capitellum without any involvement of the posterior condyle. All patients underwent open reduction and Herbert screw fixation using the anterolateral approach, with good functional outcome. In our opinion, this is a good option for the treatment of coronal shear fractures of the capitellum. |
