Riseborough and Radin classification of Intercondylarintercondylar fractures areof the humerus can be used to classify this injury, which is the result of direct violent trauma ofto the olecranon, which as it is driven as a wedge between the humeral condyles. Four types of fractures can be identified:
-
Typetype I:Nono displacement of the fragments. -
Typetype II: T-shaped intercondylar fractures with thetrochleartrochlea andcapitellarcapitellum fragments separated but not appreciably rotated in the frontal plane. -
Typetype III:T-shaped intercondylar fractures with separation of the fragments and significant rotatory deformity. -
Typetype IV:T-shaped intercondylar fractures with severe comminution of the articular surface arid wide separation of the humeral condyles.
