May 15th, 2022 - Several fixation techniques have been described to treat acute olecranon fractures. Plate fixation is often used due to its superior mechanical properties. The reported rates of reoperation from olecranon plate fixation have been quite heterogeneo...

Mar 19th, 2022 - Olecranon fractures, especially with a small proximal fragment, remain a surgical challenge. Soft tissue irritation and affection of the triceps muscle bear a risk of complications. In order to find an area for a soft-tissue sparing placement of i...

Mar 11th, 2022 - We sought to determine whether any relevant patient, fracture, surgical, or postoperative characteristics are associated with loss of reduction after plate fixation of isolated olecranon fractures in adults. Patients who underwent open reduction a...

Feb 25th, 2022 - Isolated fractures of the olecranon process of the ulna in pediatric patients with open physes are classically considered pathognomonic for osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). The purpose of this study was to distinguish the clinical manifestations of i...

Feb 16th, 2022 - Simple transverse or short oblique olecranon fractures without articular comminution are classified as Mayo type-IIA fractures, and are typically treated with a tension band wire construct. Due to the high reoperation rates, frequently because of ...

Jun 1st, 2021 - This study is designed to study the difference between operative treatment, either with tension band wiring or plate fixation, and conservative treatment of traumatic, displaced olecranon fractures in elderly population in a non-inferiority study ...

Dec 6th, 2019 - Background Olecranon fractures are frequent with an incidence of 11.5 per 100.000 people per year. Olecranon fractures are classified according to the Mayo classification in three groups. Type 1A and B are treated conservatively, while comminute f...

Oct 6th, 2016 - Patients with undisplaced olecranon fractures can be treated non-operatively. The aims of treatment in displaced olecranon fractures are the restoration of function and stability to the elbow joint4. The technique employed should allow preservatio...

Oct 6th, 2016 - Background Proximal forearm fractures comprise approximately 5% of all fractures, whilst olecranon fractures account for almost 20% of fractures occurring around the elbow1. There is limited conclusive evidence regarding the epidemiology, optimal ...

Oct 27th, 2017 - Analysis ImageJ software was used to analyze the C-arm radiographs. Measurements were divided into 4 groups of joint surface loss caused by the resections: 0% to 20%, 20% to 40%, 40% to 60%, and >60%.

Dec 3rd, 2015 - Various studies have addressed the clinical complaints and reoperation rates associated with retained metal implants after olecranon fixation. Traditional AO (Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen) technique involves subcutaneous placement o.

Jul 7th, 2015 - Anteroposterior and lateral radiographs of the elbow were obtained at follow-up and were examined for maintenance/integrity of implants, radiographic union, and posttraumatic arthrosis. Arthrosis was graded using the Broberg and Morrey24 classific.
