Background: Poor outcomes following insufficient fixation have been linked to distal humerus fractures with significant comminution, bone loss, and osteopenia. This study was performed to assess the effectiveness of reconstruction plates in treatment of distal humerus fractures either extraarticular or intraarticular types. Materials and methods: 15 people with distal humerus fractures participated in the study from March 2016 to April 2018. There was equal distribution of the patients. The distribution of sex was 9 men and 6 women, with a mean age of 42 years. Function and radiological results were evaluated after a minimum of 12 months of follow-up. Results: The mean time of the procedure was 131.9 minutes, while the patient hospital stay was 3 days. At the last check up, 13 patients had fully united. The final ROM was 114.3±13.3 and the MEPS was 68.7. Conclusion: In this prospective trial, use of the conventional plates resulted in excellent or good functional results, range of motion, and acceptable union rates. Conventional plates are a good method of fixation in treatment of the distal humerus fracture because of their lower cost and flexibility in contouring
