Patient Outcomes After Transolecranon Fracture-Dislocation.

DISCUSSION: Patients with transolecranon fracture-dislocation had excellent return to function based on the QuickDASH outcome assessment. Patients with transolecranon fracture with associated radial head fracture, coronoid fracture, humeral condyle fracture, and/or ligamentous injury tend to have worse functional outcome than patients with simple transolecranon fracture. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV-case series. PMID: 32433427 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
