title: [Results of surgically treated transcondylar comminuted fractures of the elbow joint in adults].
abstract: Follow-up results of 39 patients surgically treated for elbow fractures according to the principles of the Swiss AO could be classified in 7 cases as very good, 21 as good, 9 as moderate and 2 as poor. Conditions for optimal results are early restoration and early mobilization of the elbow joint. Even in old fractures a good functional result may be expected.
