“…4,5,9,10 However, the most commonly reported complication of the use of tension-band wiring (TBW) is prominence of the K-wires at the insertion site into the olecranon leading to pain and skin breakdown. 5,19 The cause of the prominence of the ends of the K-wires may be due to technical error or proximal migration of the K-wires. 12,28 Symptomatic metal prominence has been reported in up to 75% of patients and may lead to removal of the implants, 5,12 with reported rates of hardware removal as high as 81%.…”

“…The treatment of olecranon fracture range from internal fixation with screw alone, tension banding, figure of eight wiring alone, or combination of cancellous screw and tension band. Out of these aforementioned modalities screw plus figure of eight and tension band wiring had been reported with good resistance to failure [8]. To the best of our knowledge, we could identify only one similar case report describing a multi-fragmentary fracture of olecranon along with lateral condyle mass fracture in a young female child.…”

Elbow injuries make a sizeable burden of cases in the clinical scenario and require highly specialized care for good functional outcome. The associated injuries increase the complexities in the clinical presentation and their diagnosis. Concomitant injuries call for the appropriate management of each element separately for holistic care. The early mobilization is the aim for early and uncomplicated return to pre-injury level of activities. There are various associated injuries with olecranon metaphysis fractures but the concomitant lateral condyle fracture has been a rare reporting.

“…Several reports infer that postoperative diastasis or malreduction is associated with inferior outcomes. Murphy et al [ 30 ] reported in 38 patients with an isolated olecranon fractures a mean 3 years after an operation that there was an inferior outcome in patient with a fracture involving > 60% of the articular surface and a postoperative diastasis of 2 mm or greater. Eriksson et al [ 28 ] also inferred that a postoperative diastasis of 2 mm or greater was associated with symptomatic osteoarthritis and disability.…”

Background It is unclear whether the outcomes differ after different Horne and Tanzer types of olecranon fractures. Materials and methods We evaluated 40 men and 55 women with isolated olecranon fractures, journals and radiographs from fracture event. The fractures were classified according to Horne and Tanzer. After a mean 19 years after the fracture events, we evaluated subjective, clinical and radiographic outcomes, using the uninjured arms as controls. Results 95% of patients with type I fractures reported, at follow-up, no differences between the elbows, 80% with type II fractures and 95% with type III fractures (p = 0.43). The three types of fractures had no differences in elbow range of motion or hand grip strength (when comparing injured and uninjured arms) and the proportions of individuals with radiographic elbow degenerative changes or joint space reduction were no different (all p > 0.05). Individuals with elbow degenerative changes had no inferior subjective elbow function compared to individuals with normal radiographs (p = 0.66), in contrast to those with joint space reduction compared to individuals with normal radiographs (p < 0.001). Interpretation All types of Horne and Tanzer olecranon fractures have favourable long-term outcome. Elbow joint space reduction is associated with inferior subjective elbow function while degenerative changes are not.Publisher's Note Springer Nature remains neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations.
