Abstract
The controversy of the management of this common fracture still remains and even the recent literature is not conclusive. Controversy is mainly because the need for either conservative or operative and what type of internal fixation mainly depends on many factors like age and patient factors, the type and convection of fracture and the bone quality.
In the wake of the problem, the present study was undertaken mainly focusing on the importance of newer locking plates compared to percutaneous pinning, external fixatures or a combination.
This study of 106 cases fairly outlines what treatment is suited for what type of fractures though the ideal treatment is yet to be determined.
