13-C3 complete articular
Multifragmentary articular fractures of the distal humerus are classified as 13-C3.
The mechanical properties of the distal humerus are based on a triangle of stability, comprising the medial and lateral columns, and the transverse condylar mass. In C-type fractures, all 3 sides of this triangle must be restored.
