Abstract

Introduction: Olecranon fracture are some of the common injuries seen in emergency with commonest mode of trauma being fall on outstretched hand and road traffic accident.

Methods: This prospective comparative study was carried out from May 2020 to May 2021 within a study period of 1 year in Datta Meghe Medical College. 20 patients of olecranon fractures were enrolled randomly.

Results: According to the Mayo classification, the majority of the cases in our study were type II A fractures. The Mayo elbow performance score. In the K wire category, 5 patients (50%) had excellent results, 3 patients (30%) had decent results, and 2 patients (20%) had fair results. In both categories, there were no negative repercussions. In the cancellous screw category, excellent results were found in 8 patients (80%), nice in 1 patient (10%), and fair in 1 patient (10%).

Conclusions: From this study, we came to the conclusion that for displaced olecranon fractures as per Mayo’s II A classification fixed by using cancellous screw with tension band wiring gives better clinical outcome When compared to tension band wiring, K-wire fixation keeps costs down, time, and the chance of implant removal complications.
