The initial diagnoses were distal humeral fractures in 8 cases and fracture-dislocations in 4 cases. The Mean period from the initial operations to the TEAs was 12 months. The mean folloow up period after TEA was 43 months.RESULTS:
The mean range of motion, in terms of active extension, activeflexion, supination, and pronation, improved from 14.2degrees, 96.7degrees, 50.8degrees and 53.3degrees to 5.4degrees, 122.1degrees, 63.3degrees and 67.5degrees, respectively (p<0.05).RAdiolucent lines were found in 3 cases, which were 1 case of type 3, and 2 cases of type 4. All three loosening cases underwent revision TEAs. The mean postoperative Mayo elvow performance score was 79 point. There were 6 cases of excellent, 2 cases of good, and 4 cases in poor.CONCLUSION:
