A single antegrade Rush nail was used to treat 37 fractures of the distal humerus extending to the olecranon fossa and up to 6.5 cm proximal to it. In order to stabilise the fracture, the bent tip of the Rush nail was directed into the lateral epicondylar ridge. This gave immediate stability. All the fractures united without residual stiffness of the shoulder or elbow.

The purpose of this study is to compare the results of 2 techniques, tension band wiring (TBW) and fixation with screws, in olecranon fractures in children affected with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) type I. Between 2010 and 2014, 21 olecranon fractures in 18 children with OI (average age: 12 years old) were treated surgically. Ten patients were treated with the screw fixation and 11 with TBW. A...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the stability of the figure of eight plus circular wiring fixation technique compared with four common internal fixation techniques and to provide experimental data for the selection of internal fixation techniques clinically. A total of 20 fresh cadaveric elbow joints were used as transverse, oblique and comminuted olecranon fracture models. Five te...

according to our experience, the best treatment for operable supracondylar fractures of the adults' humerus is surgery via open reduction following internal fixation and early mobilization. the preferred approach is olecranon because of its observable fragments of the fracture and easy fixation without damaging ulnar nerve and triceps muscle. in this article, we review several cases treate...

Fractures of the lateral condyle and olecranon are two most common elbow injuries in pediatric age group. However, their simultaneous occurrence is rare. Proper understanding management these essential to prevent long-term complications. This case report presents a patient who suffered both fractures, with surgical intervention for non-surgical olecranon. A two-year-old female child was brought...

Background: Olecranon fractures are common upper limb fracture accounting for 40% of the around elbow. Anatomic reduction and restoration joint surface is required good outcome to prevent post-traumatic arthritis. This study was directed towards functional results complications surgical management olecranon treated with hook plate fixation tension band wiring. Methods: prospective comparative d...
