Are olecranon osteotomies preferred to triceps-elevating approaches in intraarticular distal humerus fractures? a literature review

Abstract
Abstract Background The outdated ‘bag of bones’ concept for managing intraarticular distal humerus fractures (IDHF) has historically given way to precise articular reduction made possible by modern implant designs and the option of joint replacement as a last resort for unreconstructable fractures. Several posterior approaches to the distal humerus have been described since the last century, among...
