Seventy-five intra-articular fractures of the distal humerus were treated from 1980 to 1991 in our hospital by open reduction and internal fixation with AO small and mini-fragment instrumentation. Müller's classification into C1, C2 and C3 types was used and the results graded by Burri and Lob's criteria after a minimum follow up of 1.6 years to a maximum of 12 years. Results were satisfactory in 77%, fair in 16% and poor in 7%. The correct indications are important together with anatomical reduction and postoperative physiotherapy. These results are encouraging compared with others previously reported.
