Fractures of the proximal ulna range from simple olecranon fractures to complex Monteggia
fractures or Monteggia-like lesions involving damage to stabilizing key structures of the …

Despite being one of the most common injuries around the elbow, the optimal treatment of
olecranon fractures is far from established and stimulates debate among both general …

Purpose Double plating has been promoted, in recent years, as an alternative treatment
method for proximal ulna fractures. This study aimed to compare the biomechanical …

Introduction Proximal ulna fractures are common in orthopaedic surgery. Comminuted
fractures require a high primary stability by the osteosynthesis, to allow an early functional …

Introduction Proximal ulna fractures with a large zone of comminution, such as in the context
of Monteggia injuries, require mechanically strong osteosyntheses as they occur in regions …

Purpose For olecranon fractures, the choice of tension band wire (TBW) or plate fixation has
long been controversial. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of …

Purpose Olecranon fractures, especially with a small proximal fragment, remain a surgical
challenge. Soft tissue irritation and affection of the triceps muscle bear a risk of …

Introduction Tension band wiring (TBW) used for olecranon fractures is afflicted with a high
rate of complications. The aim of this study was to compare the stability of the TBW versus an …

Background Patients with a simple transversal fracture of the olecranon are often treated
with a tension band wiring (TBW), because it is known as a biomechanically appropriate and …

Background. Most olecranon fractures are treated with open reduction and internal fixation
(ORIF) leading largely to good clinical results. However, some studies have reported …
