Recent advancements of common internal fixation techniques for olecranon fracture / 国际外科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Olecranon fracture is one of the most common types of elbow fracture. The traditional surgical methods are tension band wiring and plate internal fixation. Both surgical methods can well restore the range of motion and function of the elbow, but there are still problems such as occurrence of complications and high rate of secondary surgery. Olecranon sled is a new type of internal fixation, the unique design of which helps reduce the incidence of complications. Combining relevant literature and clinical experience, the author will discuss the research progress in common internal fixation techniques for olecranon fracture, considering that the clinical effect of internal fixation is good at present, but the problems of postoperative complications and secondary operation are still worthy of attention.
