title: Clinico-radiological evaluation of juxta articular fractures and diaphyseal fractures of upper limb managed with locking compression plating.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Locking compression plate (LCP) fixation of juxta articular and diaphyseal fractures of upper limb is a new modality of operative management.
  
  
  METHODS
  Twenty-five consecutive cases of juxta articular and diaphyseal fractures of upper limb were fixed with LCP and results were analyzed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  All fractures healed in good anatomical position in 6-8 weeks with good functional outcome.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  LCP is a reliable fixation device for juxta articular and diaphyseal fractures of upper limb.
