Lateral epicondyle osteotomy approach for coronal shear fractures of the distal humerus: Report of three cases and review of the literature

Figure 1 Imaging examinations performed before and 12 mo after surgery. A-D: Preoperative radiographs and computed tomography scan showed a type Dubberley 3A fracture and a right humerus shaft fracture; E and F: Radiographs taken 12 mo after surgery showed union without osteonecrosis.

Figure 2 Imaging examinations performed before and 5. 5 mo after surgery. A-D: Preoperative radiographs and computed tomography scan showed a type Dubberley 3B fracture accompanied by a left olecranon avulsion fracture; E and F: Radiographs taken 5.5 mo after surgery showed union without osteonecrosis.

Figure 3 Imaging examinations performed before and 16 mo after surgery. A-D: Preoperative radiographs and computed tomography scan showed a type Dubberley 2B fracture accompanied by a lateral epicondyle fracture; E and F: Radiographs taken 16 mo after surgery showed union without osteonecrosis.
