Low Complication Rates in Olecranon Fracture Fixation With Dual Plating
DP for olecranon fractures represents a valuable strategy in fracture treatment. We report a low hardware removal rate of 2.4%, with removal being done for infection, not symptomatic hardware. DP provides a reliable method of fixation, helps re-create native anatomy, and has a low complication rate compared with standard dorsal plating. [<i>Orthopedics</i>. 2025;48(1):30-36.].
