Omega Plate Fixation of Comminuted Olecranon Fractures: Technique and Case Series

We present the omega plate technique, which utilizes a mini-fragment plate passed under the triceps tendon insertion, allowing maximal implant surface area contact with small, proximal olecranon fracture fragments. The mini-fragment plate is not placed on the dorsal subcutaneous border of the ulna, which allows it to capture medial and lateral fragments of cortical comminution and may contribute to less soft tissue irritation.PMID:38556901 | DOI:10.1097/BTH.0000000000000480
