Fragment-specific Plate Fixation in a Case of Mayo Type IIB Olecranon Fracture: A Case Report
To effectively categorize olecranon fractures according to displacement, comminution, and stability, the Mayo classification was developed. With appropriate computed tomography scan imaging and pre-operative planning, individual fragments of these comminuted fractures can be delineated, and fragment-specific implants can be used, resulting in good radiological and clinical outcome with minimal complications as compared to tension band wiring.
