DOI: 10.1097/bot.0000000000001037
Abstract: Objectives: The surgical reduction of intra-articular olecranon fractures is judged primarily on the lateral elbow radiograph, as orthogonal imaging of the articular surface is not obtainable. We sought to determine surgeon accuracy in identifying intra-articular… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/pec.0000000000000899
Abstract: ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to verify the use of initial plain radiographs, specifically the presence of a longitudinal crack on the olecranon, for diagnosing olecranon occult fractures in children. MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed all… read more here.
