2mm) and in avulsion fractures due to triceps pull.Methods of fixation are :Open reduction and internal fixation by figure of 8 tension band wiring (TB W) : It is the most commonly used method for olecranon fracture. This method is used for avulsion fractures : transverse fractures when the fracture is proximal to coronoid : and sometimes oblique fractures. Lag screw fixation (interfragmentary screw) : Used in comminuted fracture when the distal fragment is displaced anteriorly and in the oblique fracture. Plate and screw fixation with grafting : Displaced comminuted fracture where tension band wiring is not possible. Excision of the proximal fragments.">
