"I personally believe that the distal humerus elbow is difficult to treat because, uhmmm, some elbows people have are different and uh, I believe that elbows, operations like such as uh, the knee, and uh, the spine, everywhere like such as, and I believe that elbows should, uhhh, our operations of the elbow should help the distal humerus, uh, should be like the knee, it should help the spine and the shoulder so we will be able to place screws and rods, for the fixation."

What a nasty break, can you say what the mechanism of injury was? How did a fracture like that take place?
Chrysalis: this break commonly occurs because of a FOOSH (fall on outstretched hand) or direct blow to the elbow). i am not sure how this one occurred. i pulled it from a E-Medicine article.
Interesting. I think of a fracture to the collar bone from an outstretched hand. I started to say I'd never seen one of these, but I have, it also accompanied a dislocation of the shoulder. You jogged my memory! I'm rusty...hope you can bare with me. It's so true you don't use it you loose it.
Because ELBOWS DON'T HAVE MAPS! :)
