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.

Abstract

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.
