Fratura de Olécrano
osteossíntese com placa anatômica bloqueada

olecranon, internal fracture fixation, bone fractures, upper extremityAbstract
Olecranon fractures are among the most common fractures of the upper limb. Most cases require surgical treatment, and the choice between the procedure options is mainly based on the personality of the fracture. Treatment through fixation with a plate and screw is the most indicated option for comminuted fractures. New blocked and low-profile anatomical plates have been highlighted as an option with good results to avoid complications, such as skin irritation caused by the place. In this article, authors describe a case of comminuted fracture of the olecranon treated through osteosynthesis with a premolded fixed-angle plate of olecranon, as well as its postoperative outcome.
