“…The mean follow-up of other published studies is longer than that in our study [1,8,9]. The mean age was 7.6 years, and the male predominance is conWrmed as in other studies [3]. The dominant right side is slightly more often involved, with a ratio of 1.5.…”

“…1 and in Fig. 2 [3]. Fracture classiWcation according to the fracture line showed 40% type C, 26.7% type D, 13.3% type A or E, and 6.7% type B. Twelve patients were treated with K-wires, 8 of them with tension band wires (10-16 years of age), 4 of them with absorbable tension band sutures (2-10 years of age), one patient with isolated K-wires (1 year of age), one patient with screws (5 years of age), and one patient with a plate (16 years of age).…”

Background Fractures of the olecranon are relatively uncommon in children and most are non-displaced or minimally displaced. Wire and suture methods have been used to stabilize displaced pediatric olecranon fractures. This study compares diVerences in the clinical outcome of 15 children either treated with open reduction and screws, tension band suture (TBS), tension band wires (TBW), or plating. Methods The treatment consisted of open reduction and internal Wxation in 15 cases with a mean of 7.6 years of age.Twelve patients underwent stabilization with K-wires and tension band wires or tension band sutures; one patient, isolated K-wires; one patient, screw Wxation; and one patient, plate Wxation. At follow-up, clinical and radiological assessments were made according to Murphy score. Results At follow-up, 7 patients showed excellent results; 3 patients, good results; 3 patients, fair results; and two patients, poor results. Three patients had an extension deWcit of 5°, 2 patients with tension band wires, and one patient with plate. None of the patients had developed non-union. Conclusions Open reduction and internal Wxation leads to satisfactory results in children with displaced olecranon fractures. The most common cause of unsatisfactory results was loss of motion, although this usually did not prevent good function.

“…Although, concomitant LCM-olecranon fractures have been documented previously without further details by Gicquel et al [6] (1 of 26), by Caterini et al [1] (4 of 63), and by Gaddy et al [5] (1 of 35). In our series, five undisplaced LCM and undisplaced olecranon fractures were successfully treated nonoperatively.…”

“…Schrauben und Platten können sich durch Gefährdung der Blutversorgung oder durch die Implantatgröße nachteilig auf das weitere Wachstum auswirken. Um die Blutversorgung der Epiphyse nicht zu stören, muss der chirurgische Zugang so klein wie möglich gehalten werden und trotzdem eine offene Reposition oder perkutane Stiftsetzung ermöglichen [2]. Um diesen unterschiedlichen Ansprüchen gerecht zu werden, haben wir ein neues Konzept entwickelt: Gewindestifte mit justierbarer Verriegelung (Fixano ® ).…”

“…Screws and plates have the disadvantage of interfering with further growth jeopardizing the blood supply or simply due to the size of the implant. In order not to interfere with the blood supply to the physes the surgical approach must be as limited as possible and allow an open reduction or a percutaneous wire insertion [2]. To meet these different demands, we have developed a new concept: threaded pins with an adjustable lock (Fixano ® ), first used for the treatment of olecranon fractures in 1999 [3,4] and since January 2002 for other fractures.…”

Since November 1999 these pins have been used for six olecranon fractures. In January 2002 we extended the indication to other fracture sites. Between January 2002 and July 2003 this system has been used 37 times (six olecranon fractures, eleven lateral condylar fractures and 13 medial epicondylar fractures of the elbow, and seven fractures of the ankle). A total of 43 fractures were treated (20 girls, 23 boys, average age 9.8 +/- 3.6 years) Average duration of follow-up 16.8 +/- 4.7 months. The assessment of results was based on technical, radiographic, and functional aspects. The overall results were good, in particular in respect to the stability of implants and the functional results. No secondary displacement, nor nonunion were observed; the pins were removed in all children at 6 weeks. The ease of handling the implants and the good clinical and radiologic results led us to propose these pins for routine use in epiphyseal and epiphyseo-metaphyseal fractures in children. Some improvements, however, are indicated principally, in particular in respect to the control of compression achieved by the adjustable lock.
