ObjectivesTo report complications, clinical outcomes and CT‐imaging outcomes of a surgical system designed for the management of humeral intracondylar fissures and humeral condylar fractures.Materials and MethodsRetrospective review of fracture healing from medical records, direct owner contact and an online data‐submission service. Follow‐up included CT scans and a calculated “bone‐opacity continuity index” to quantify bone healing.ResultsThere was one major surgical complication and one major medical complication out of 34 fissure cases, and two major surgical and one major medical complication out of 14 fractures. Follow‐up times ranged from 29 to 1268 days. All cases with CT follow‐up had some continuity of bone opacity across the condyle.Clinical SignificanceIn the cases included in this study, this repair system was associated with low complication rates and favourable healing rates, particularly for humeral intracondylar fissure.
