title: Surgical treatment of bicolumn distal humeral fractures: relevant anatomy and classification.
abstract: Intercondylar or bicondylar distal humeral fractures involving both the medial and lateral columns are complex periarticular injuries that are challenging to treat. Understanding the normal elbow anatomy and classification systems that describe injury patterns provides the basis for the successful treatment of these complex humeral fractures.
