“…1,2 Generally, the treatment of choice for displaced olecranon fractures is open reduction and internal fixation. 3 Several options are available to the surgeon including the AO tension band technique, plate fixation, and intramedullary screws.…”

“…A study conducted by Wilson et al demonstrated that ORIF applied significantly greater fracture compression compared with TB in treatment of transverse olecranon fractures [13]. In addition, cadaver models of transverse olecranon fractures have demonstrated a biomechanical advantage for ORIF over TB both at rest and during active movements [14]. However, despite the biomechanical evidence suggesting the advantage of ORIF over TB, relatively little comparative outcomes research comparing the two surgical techniques in the context of olecranon fractures exists.…”

“…1,2 El tratamiento conservador está indicado en fracturas no desplazadas, 3 pero, a menudo, estas se presentan de manera desplazada y el tratamiento quirúrgico es el más utilizado. Los sistemas de absorbe-tracción y las placas con tornillos son los métodos de fijación más reportados.…”

“…Pero este tipo de fracturas se presentan, con mayor frecuencia, en pacientes añosos, con factores de riesgo aumentados y una calidad ósea disminuida que, a veces, dificulta la fijación. 2 Por otro lado, también, hay evidencia controversial que sugiere que, en las fracturas desplazadas de olécranon, los resultados posquirúrgicos son inferiores en pacientes ancianos. 7,8 Si bien se han comunicado buenos resultados quirúr-gicos en pacientes mayores, algunos autores reportan complicaciones hasta en el 30% de los casos.…”
