Distal humerus fractures (DHFs) constitute one-third of elbow fractures approximately. In this study, we aim to define and analyze the fracture lines and morphological features of DHFs using mapping technique. One hundred and two DHFs were retrospectively reviewed. All the computed tomography (CT) d...
