Then, the comminuted condyles fracture fragments were anatomically fixed under direct visualization, using a 1.0 mm K-wire for a small fragment or a 2.7 mm screw for a bigger fragment. Finally, the medial and lateral condyles of the humerus were turned back toward the bottom of the triceps muscle and matched with olecranon, and fixed to the humerus shaft
