Fractures of the olecranon in children

J G Matthews. Injury. 1980 Nov.

Abstract

Forty-nine fractures of the olecranon in children have been followed for up to 3 years after the injury. A notably large number (22) sustained associated injuries or complications which delayed or prevented a satisfactory outcome. Just over half of the whole series (27) achieved a satisfactory return to normal use within 12 weeks. Methods of treatment and a number of important complications are discussed.
