title: Open Reduction, Internal Fixation Distal Intraarticular Distal Humerus Fracture.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of this video is to demonstrate the surgical repair of an intraarticular distal humerus fracture.
  
  
  METHODS
  A polytrauma patient with an intraarticular distal humerus fracture is shown. The patient is positioned laterally, with a posterior skin incision and olecranon osteotomy for exposure. An anatomic reduction is achieved, and internal fixation with perpendicular plating of the distal humerus is performed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The video is 18 minutes, 34 seconds duration in time and 2,048,752,000 bytes in size.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Open reduction with internal fixation of a distal humerus fracture is demonstrated in this video.
