title: [Extra-articular fractures of the distal humerus].
abstract: In our study we examined the patients with extraarticular fractures in five years period: from 1984 to 1987. Most of them were treated operatively (76%). The good results highly correlated with the early timing of operation, the best results are seen in cases, which are operated urgently or in the first week after injury.
