Olecranon fracturescan occur by several mechanisms. In patients who have osteoporotic bone, forceful eccentric contraction of the triceps may result in an olecranon avulsion fracture. Additionally, a direct blow with the elbow slightly flexed can cause an olecranon fracture. Indirect trauma when a pati...
The association between the types of fractures according to Mayo classification and MEPS, and the association between the type of fracture and the presence of pain were analyzed.ResultsThe average follow-up was of 43.64 months. The flexion-extension average range was 135.6掳, and the mean MEPS ...
According to the Mayo classification, 11 cases were classified as Mayo type IIB and 2 as IIIB. According to the Schatzker-Schmeling classification, 2 fractures were type A2, 9 type C, and 2 type D. One patient with type C fracture also had type I coronoid fracture according to Regan and...

The reported high percentage of skin and implant-related complications for these subcutaneous fractures raised the question about the need for a ...
According to Mayo classification system, maximum number of patients (50%) were Mayo type IIB. 3 patients (25%) were type IIIA and 2 patients were type IIIB. Mean interval period from injury to surgery was 18 hours. According to BrobergMorrey scale, out of total 12, 8 patients (66.66%)...
Variables such as patient demographics, Mayo fracture classification, open vs. closed injury, implant type, reoperation rates, and postoperative complications were recorded. Results. A total of 217 patients were included in the study. No difference was found with implant choice and...
