    Objective: In this study our main goal is to evaluatetheoutcome of double tension band wiring and reconstructionplate and screws for the treatment of displaced bicondylar intraarticular fractures of the distal humerus.Methodology: This perspective and randomized study wasconducted at the National Institute of Traumatology andOrthopaedic Rehabilitation (NITOR), Dhaka from July 2003 to2005. Where out of 24 patients 12 were selected for operativetreatment by reconstruction plate and screws (Group –I), and12 were selected for operative treatment by double tensionband wiring (Group-II) as on random basis.Results: During the study, in group-1 and group-2 most of thepatients belongs to 18-30 age group., 75% patients’ injury inleft limb whereas, 35% had injury in left limb in group-2.33.33% patients with reconstruction Plate and Screw, hadexcellent recovery after treatment where as 25% had excellentrecovery when they had double Tension Band Wiring.Conclusion: From our study we can conclude that, operativetreatment of displaced bicondylar intra-articular fractures of thedistal humerus by reconstruction plate and screws gives amore rigid fixation with better functional outcome than bydouble tension band wiring.
