Further Displacement After Initial Nonsurgical Treatment of Minimally Displaced Olecranon Fractures in Children
Further displacement was observed in 20% of minimally displaced olecranon fractures regardless of the zone and magnitude of initial displacement with a small percentage leading to a change in the management. Close radiographic follow-up for nonsurgically treated olecranon fractures is recommended.
