Improvements in both surgical implants and techniques for their application have enhanced the functional outcome after complex distal humeral fractures. Complication rates remain high, however, emphasizing the demanding nature of treatment of these injuries. This article focuses on the recognition and treatment of complex and previously poorly described distal humeral injuries and the prevention and treatment of complications commonly seen with these fractures.
