Functional Outcome of Treatment of Deviated Olecranon Fracture (Mayo 2a) by an Intramedullary Screw With Tension Band Compared to Classic Tension Band - A Prospective Randomized Study
Abstract:Objective evaluate the functional treatment outcome of deviated transverse olecranon fractures (Mayo 2A) after treatment with tension-banded intramedullary screw (PIBT) compared to classical tension band (BTC). Methods Prospectively collect all deviated transverse olecranon fractures from 2012 to 2016 and randomize them into PIBT and BTC groups. Range of motion (ROM) was measured after 2 and 5 weeks, 3 and 6 months, and 1 and 2 years. Functional assessments (DASH, Oxford Elbow Score, and Mayo Elbow Performanc… Show more
