Measure
Control
This group will receive the standard of care treatment for their distal humerus fracture only.
Intervention
This group will receive the prophylactic radiation therapy in addition to the standard of care treatment of their distal humerus fracture. Radiation: A dose of 500cGy will be delivered in 1 fraction to the isocenter. Radiation will be administered no later than 72 hours postoperatively
