Intramedullary screw fixation for simple displaced olecranon fractures
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery"
DOI: 10.1007/s00068-019-01114-4
Abstract: Purpose Olecranon fractures are common and typically require surgical fixation due to displacement generated by the pull of the triceps muscle. The most common techniques for repairing olecranon fractures are tension-band wiring or plate fixation,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00402-017-2735-6
Abstract: IntroductionOpen reduction and internal fixation has long been accepted as optimal treatment for displaced olecranon fractures based on poor results seen with conservative management. With the presence of comminution, tension-band wiring constructs are contraindicated due… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00402-021-04166-7
Abstract: Severely comminuted olecranon fractures are challenging injuries. Commonly used tension band wiring exerts excessive compressive forces causing olecranon shortening and joint incongruity. This study aimed to introduce the embedded rafting k-wire technique with the bridging… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2020.11.008
Abstract: BACKGROUND In the treatment of unstable olecranon fractures, anatomically preshaped locking plates exhibit superior biomechanical results compared to tension band wiring. However, posterior plating still is accompanied with high rates of plate removals because of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1142/s2424835521500090
Abstract: Background: Although postoperative outcomes of olecranon fractures are relatively favorable, postoperative stiffness of the elbow joint occurs occasionally. We aimed to identify negative prognostic factors for unfavorable outcomes following olecranon fractures. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed… read more here.
