Clinical comparison of double-plate fixation by the perpendicular plate method versus parallel plate method for distal humeral fracture: a multicenter (TRON group) study.

Although there were no significant differences in clinical outcomes or complications between the two groups, the incidence of implant removal was higher in Group B than in Group A. In the parallel plate technique, where the plates have to be placed in areas with thin subcutaneous soft tissue, the incidence of implant removal might be high due to the discomfort caused by the implant.
