Abstract
Olecranon fractures represent 5 % of all adult fractures. Management is most often surgical. Conservative treatment is recommended for non-displaced fractures or patients who would be poor surgical candidates. Prolonged immobilization of the elbow may cause joint stiffness, whereas surgical treatment can be complicated by loss of reduction or wound issues with secondary infection of the material. In this article, we discuss the pathology and the principles of treatment based on the literature, to allow the general practitioner to guide the patient towards the most suitable treatment.
