Abstract
Abstract: Aim- To know the outcome of Treatment of Olecranon Fracture with Locking Compression Plate in Regional Institute of Medical Science, Manipur, Imphal, India. Introduction: Olecranon fractures represent approximately 10% of all fractures around the elbow and can be caused either by direct trauma or by indirect trauma. Material and Methods: In Regional Institute of Medical Sciences, Imphal, Manipur. Thirty consecutive patients with fracture olecranon process of ulna treated with locking compression plate with follow up period of 6 months. Results: Based on the DASH assessment criteria, the final outcome for all cases was excellent in 26 (86.66%), good in 3 (10%) and failure in 1 (3.33 %) patient. Conclusion: Locking compression plate acts as an extra-medullary load bearing device, stablishing fracture fragments and ensuring early bony union. The locked plate-screw system produces a rigid screw-bone fixation which prevents malrotation or shortening. Early return of joint functions is easily achieved concurrent with fracture healing.
