From: Temporary spanning plate across the elbow for complex fractures of the distal humerus
A reconstruction 3.5 plate was utilized as a spanning plate in this patient (case #14), inserted through a small tricipital window (black arrow) and an intramedullary screw is inserted through the plate to simultaneously fix the olecranon osteotomy. The fixation on the ulna side needed only a small window (grey arrow) to insert the screws. The ulnar nerve was released in situ (white arrow)
