Evaluitation of Distal Humerus Intercondylar Fractures Using Mayo Elbow Performance Score Following Elbow Reconstruction with Two Plates in Inverted Y Configuration

Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the clinical outcome using the Mayo Elbow Performance Score after reconstructing the elbow with the application of two plates in an inverted Y configuration for distal humeral intercondylar fractures. Material and Method: This Descriptive Case series study was carried out at the Department of Orthopedics Maqsood Medical Center Peshawar from June 2019 to June 2023. Non-probability, consecutive sampling technique was used for patient’s selection. All patients with distal humeral intercondylar fracture aged between 20-50 years, either gender with a duration of fracture <1 week were included in the study. All the data were put in the SPSS version 20 and was analyzed for mean mode median and frequencies. Results: Out of the 88 patients, 53 (60.23%) were male and 35 (39.22%) were females with male to female ratio of 1.5:1 (Figure I). Mean duration of fracture was 4.19 ± 1.44 days (Table II). Mean BMI was 29.03 ± 3.12 kg/m2. In current study, according to mayo elbow performance score clinical outcome was excellent in 27 (30.68%), good in 37 (42.05%), fair in 16 (18.18%) and poor in 08 (9.09%) patients after elbow reconstruction using two plates in inverted Y configuration for distal humeral intercondylar fracture Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that a significant proportion of patients achieved a satisfactory clinical outcome when assessed with the Mayo Elbow Performance Score following elbow reconstruction using two plates arranged in an inverted Y configuration for distal humeral intercondylar fractures.
