The Bone & Joint Journal, 2023 Despite being one of the most common injuries around the elbow, the optimal treatment of olecranon fractures is far from established and stimulates debate among both general orthopaedic trauma surgeons and upper limb specialists. It is almost universally accepted that stable non-displaced fractures can be safely treated nonoperatively with minimal ...

The effect of post-fixation olecranon lengthening on range of motion of the elbow: a cadaveric study [PDF]
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2021 Background Principles of fixation of comminuted olecranon fractures include anatomical reduction of the articular surface and restoration of ulnohumeral joint motion. However, comminution sometimes may not permit anatomical fixation of fracture fragments,

An Anatomical Study on Canine Cadavers Investigating the Caudolateral Approach Involving the Elevation of the Anconeus Muscle and Splitting of the Triceps Brachii Muscle for the Potential Treatment of T-Y Humeral Fractures [PDF]
AnimalsDue to the complex anatomical structure of the distal humerus, elbow joint, and the soft tissue mantle (the triceps brachii muscle, large nerves, and vessels), fractures of the distal humerus and humeral condyle are difficult to treat.

Timing of Olecranon Fracture Fixation Does Not Affect Early Complication or Reoperation Rates [PDF]
Journal of Hand Surgery Global Online, 2023 Purpose: Surgical fixation of olecranon fractures can lead to soft-tissue complications and return to the operating room for hardware removal. While some risk factors of complications after olecranon fracture fixation have been described, the effects of ...

Bilateral Olecranon Fracture and Radio-Humeral Dislocation
The Annals of African Surgery, 2018 Olecranon fractures constitute 10% of traumatic fractures in the upper limb however; bilateral traumatic olecranon fracture is rare. They follow a fall on a flexed elbow or strike on the point of the elbow or in patients with other systemic pathology ...

Journal of Pharmacy and Bioallied SciencesBackground: Distal humerus fractures are rare but complex, needing stable fixation and early mobilization. Olecranon osteotomy offers good exposure but risks non-union and implant issues, while extensor-preserving approaches may reduce morbidity yet ...

Transverse olecranon osteotomy with Gigli saw: A fast and reliable technique [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Investigative Surgery, 2021 Objective. Distal humerus fractures constitute of approximately 2% of all fractures and 30% of elbow fractures. Olecranon osteotomy provides excellent exposure of distal humerus and articular surface.
