ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To explore clinical effect of olecranon sled in treating olecranal fracture.@*METHODS@#Four patients with olecranal fracture treated by olecranon sled in March 2017, including 2 males and 2 females, age of 40, 46, 47, 72 years old, 3 patients on the left side and 1 patient on the right side. All patients were caused by falling down. Fracture were transverse, oblique and slightly compressive articular surface fracture. The time from injury to operation ranged from 1 to 3 days. Operative time, blood loss, complications and flexion and extension of elbow joint, and function of forearm were observed, VAS score was used to evaluate relieve degree of pain, and Mayo score was applied to assess recovery of elbow function.@*RESULTS@#Four patients were followed up until September 2018. Operative time ranged from 40 to 60 min, blood loss was for 20 to 40 ml, and no complications occurred. All fracture were healed at 4 months after operation. Elbow flexion was for 140° to 150°, extension of elbow was from 0° and extend to 10°, activity of flexion and extension ranged from 140 ° to 160°, MEPS score was 100. No pain occurred during doing activity, and VAS score was 0.@*CONCLUSIONS@#Low-profile design and integrated design of olecranon sled could avoid irritation of tension band and plate, and it is a simple and ideal internal fixation method for simple and mildly comminuted olecranon fracture, which is not suitable for severely comminuted olecranon fracture.
