About this trial

Distal humerus fractures are fractures of the lower part of the upper arm bone near the elbow. These fractures often require surgery using plates and screws to stabilize the bone while it heals.

This observational study will evaluate adults with distal humerus fractures who are treated with the LORRAINE 2.5/3.5 mm Distal Humerus System as part of routine clinical care. The study does not assign or change the treatment selected by the treating surgeon.

Up to 100 participants will be enrolled and followed for up to 12 months after surgery. The study will evaluate radiographic and clinical fracture healing. It will also assess elbow function, range of motion, quality of life, pain, adverse events, radiographic findings, and reoperations.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Patient must be 18 years of age or older

Patient must have a distal humerus fracture requiring surgical intervention and be eligible for fixation by locking plate and screws

Patient must have a fracture pattern requiring a minimum construct of the medial and posterolateral plates. Additional fragment plates may be used in addition as necessary.

Unilateral or bilateral fractures.

Disqualifiers

Active infection

Patients presenting conditions including blood supply limitations, insufficient quantity or quality of bone

Foreign body sensitivity where material sensitivity is suspected; testing is to be completed prior to implantation of the device.

Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus (e.g., investigator judgment or HbA1c above locally accepted surgical threshold).
