A Retrospective Study on the Outcome of Different Fixation Methods After Olecranon Osteotomy

China100 participantsStarted 2012-12-01

Plain-language summary

Humeral intercondylar fractures are very challenging in clinical treatment. There are many problems not clear. One of the important problems remained to be solved is which fixation method can achieve the best effects after olecranon osteotomy. Therefore, the investigators are going to perform a retrospective analysis of patients with distal humerus fractures admitted to their hospital in 2012-2017 to compare the functional outcomes of elbow joints with tension-band fixation and plate fixation after olecranon osteotomy.
