Long-term Functional Consequences of Surgically Treated Pediatric and Adolescent Olecranon Fractures: Does the Presence of Associated Fractures and Surgical Procedure Affect the Results?
Abstract:Background:
Olecranon fractures are rare conditions in childhood. The aim of this study was to investigate the factors affecting the results in surgically treated pediatric and adolescent olecranon fractures.
Methods:
The orthopaedic trauma database of a large academic tertiary center was retrospectively searched for patients who had sustained an olecranon fracture and were treated surgically between 2005 and 2021. Data related to demographic features, additional fractures, and the presence of any disease we… Show more
