Treatment of supra and diacondylar fractures is demanding, and the functional result is often suboptimal. The aggressive surgical approach required to reduce the fracture and to stabilize it by means of internal osteosynthesis can potentially cause afurther vascular disruption. On the other hand, external fixation has historically not been considered suited to stabilize articular fractures. The aim of the study was to set up a surgical technique to reduce supra and diacondylar humeral fractures in aclosed way, and to stabilize them by means of external hybrid fixation.
