“…These complication rates are similar to those reported in olecranon osteotomy in dogs, 29,30 and are also consistent with human findings, in which complications occurred in up to 92 and 20% of patients after TBW and PO, respectively. 7,9,10,13,18,24,[31][32][33][34] In our study, complications occurred more commonly within the first 2 months after TBW but appeared to be scattered over time after PO. Interestingly, failure of fixation requiring implant removal and alternative fixation was only observed after TBW, occurring in 18% of cases within the first month of surgery.…”

“…Although there are studies in the literature with similar results regarding the deficit of range of motion after operative treatment, even in the general population. 32 , 45 The results of these early studies regarding the non-operative treatment of displaced olecranon fractures in the elderly, while encouraging, are limited. Most of them are retrospective, with small numbers of patients and short-term follow-up.…”

Operative treatment with tension band wiring or plate is the gold standard of care for displaced olecranon fractures. In elderly patients, multiple comorbidities combine with increased intraoperative risks, and postoperative complications may yield poor results. There are small series in the literature that show promising results with non-operative treatment. Non-operative treatment may provide reasonable function and satisfaction in the elderly population and could be considered as a treatment option in this group, especially for those with comorbidities, to avoid postoperative complications and the need for re-operation.

“…Hard ware irritation is often reported with plate fixation and hardware removal rates are reported to be 0% to 20% in the literature [13] , [14] , [15] . Painful hardware is more frequent in tension-band wiring than plate fixation and our literature search revealed rates to be from 9% to 91% for the tension band technique 16 , [17] , [18] , [19] , [20] , [21] , [22] .…”
