Olecranon fractures

Injury, 2009
Several options exist for the management olecranon fractures. These include tension band, plate and intramedullary fixation techniques as well as fragment excision with triceps advancement and non-operative management. No one technique is suitable for the management of all olecranon fractures.

Olecranon Fractures

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 2008
Approximately 10% of fractures about the adult elbow consist of fractures of the olecranon process of the ulna and range from simple nondisplaced fractures to complex fracture-dislocations of the elbow. Several treatment options for internal fixation have been described, including tension-band wiring, plate fixation, intramedullary screw fixation, and ...

Olecranon bursitis

Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, 2016
Bursitis is a common medical condition, and of all the bursae in the body, the olecranon bursa is one of the most frequently affected. Bursitis at this location can be acute or chronic in timing and septic or aseptic. Distinguishing between septic and aseptic bursitis can be difficult, and the current literature is not clear on the optimum length or ...

Experience with the McAtee olecranon device in olecranon fractures.

The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1979
Treatment of olecranon fractures by prolonged immobilization often results in limited elbow motion. With the use of a compression screw apparatus, anatomical reduction was obtainable, and only a short period of immobilization was needed. In a series of eleven fractures there were no non-unions and an average decrease in elbow range of motion of only 8 ...

Olecranon Fractures

Hand Clinics, 2015
Olecranon fractures are common upper extremity injuries, with all but nondisplaced fractures treated surgically. There has been a recent shift in the surgical management of these fractures from tension band wiring to locking plate fixation and intramedullary nailing; however, this comes with increased implant cost.

Olecranon Fractures

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2013
Olecranon fractures are common injuries of the upper extremity; majority are treated surgically. A variety of fixation techniques are available to surgeons in modern practice, but there is little comparative clinical research to guide one's decision. Nonetheless, good results over all are to be expected after surgical management.

Olecranon Spur

Journal of Hand Surgery, 1993
Full extension of the elbow is normally made possible by accommodation of the olecranon within an appropriately shaped fossa in the distal humerus. We report three cases where disability has resulted from an abnormally shaped olecranon.

Olecranon Bursitis Communicating With an Olecranon Cyst in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, 2007
Nonseptic inflammation of the olecranon bursa is frequent because of its superficial location. 1 This olecranon bursitis can be due to variable causes such as trauma, overuse, inflammatory arthropathy, chronic degenerative osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and gout.2-4 A cyst (or geode) is a subarticular cystic lesion, and this is often seen ...

The Olecranon Bursa

Australasian Radiology, 1970
SUMMARYThe olecranon bursa is a potential cavity in the normal subject and is represented by two layers of synovial membrane and extrasynovial fat. It is only the extrasynovial fat that is seen on the normal lateral view of the elbow.When the cavity of the bursa is distended at post‐mortem examination with 1 ml.
