Abstract
Olecranon fractures are common injuries of the proximal ulna following low energy trauma. The aim of fracture treatment is to restore early, active, elbow motion and function.
In the current study thirty patients’ twenty males and ten females with different patterns of fracture olecranon have been included. Patients were identified according to type of fixation. Two methods were used in this study: Tension band with K-wires and posterior anatomic small set plate. They all had pre and post-operative x-rays and were followed up in outpatient clinic for six months. It was concluded that two K-wires placed in anterior ulnar cortex with tension band is recommended for all transverse fractures, while posterior anatomic. Plate is recommended for cmminuted and unstable oplique fractures. We found that patients with olecranon fracures fixed by tension band had good results and very good functional outcome.
