Ulnar Nerve Management with Distal Humerus Fracture Fixation: A Meta-Analysis.
Hand Clinics 2018 Februrary
Ulnar nerve dysfunction following distal humerus fractures is a well-recognized phenomenon. There is no consensus regarding optimal handling of the ulnar nerve during surgical management of these fractures between in situ management and transposition. Using an electronic database to identify retrospective studies involving surgical fixation of distal humerus fractures yielded 46 studies, 5 trials meeting the authors' inclusion criteria, totaling 362 patients. An overall incidence of 19.3% for ulnar neuropathy was identified. Of those patients undergoing in situ release, the incidence was 15.3%. Of those who underwent transposition, there was a 23.5% incidence of ulnar neuropathy.
