| Sr.No | Objective |
|---|---|
| 1 | Every screw should pass through a plate |
| 2 | Each screw should engage a fragment on the opposite side that is also fixed to a plate. |
| 3 | As many screws as possible should be placed in the distal fragments. |
| 4 | Each screw should be as long as possible. |
| 5 | Each screw should engage as many articular fragments as possible. |
| 6 | The screws should lock together by interdigitation within the distal fragment, thereby creating a fixed-angle architecture that provides stability to the entire distal humerus. |
| 7 | Plates should be applied such that compression is achieved at the supracondylar level for both columns. |
| 8 | Plates used must be strong enough and stiff enough to resist breaking or bending before union occurs at the supracondylar level. |
