García-Elvira R, Vives-Barquiel MA, Camacho-Carrasco P, et al. - Researchers investigated the causes and rates of re-operation in olecranon fractures in adults treated with transosseous suture via prospectively assessing 29 patients who underwent this procedure between 2010 and 2018. For ischemia and surgery, the median time of 51 (95% CI:48;62) and 45 (95% CI:42;55) minutes were observed, respectively. Outcomes suggest that for treating Mayo IIA olecranon fractures in adult patients, transosseous suture with high strength thread is a valid alternative; this procedure is correlated with reduced re-operation rates for implant removal. Radiologic diastasis of the posterior cortex at the fracture site may be observed in a moderate percentage of cases, without causing pain nor limiting mobility.
