Determining the Efficacy of Screw and Washer Fixation as a Method for Securing Olecranon Osteotomies Used in the Surgical Management of Intraarticular Distal Humerus Fractures

摘要

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to critically evaluate the efficacy of single screw and washer fixation in comparison with other methods for securing olecranon osteotomies. The hypothesis is that screw and washer fixation is a safe and effective means of olecranon osteotomy fixation with fusion and complication rates similar to other methods of fixation.
