Comminuted fractures of the olecranon are an absolute indication for operative treatment. Adequate therapy is only possible when open reduction and plating are performed. In the last 20 years, 31 of our patients, i.e. 0.0001% of all patients treated for injuries, had this type of olecranon fracture, and in 25 follow-up examination was possible. The fracture type was classified according to the ASIF system. The range of motion, i.e., extension, flexion, pro- and supination, and pain, physical strength and rehabilitation were classified according to our own system. In cases with concomitant fracture of the radial head, reconstruction is necessary to provide adequate axial movement and strength in the forearm. Brief plaster fixation after the operation makes it possible to restrict the development of ankylosis in the elbow joint. The results were excellent in 10 patients, good in 5 patients, fair in 4 and poor in 6 patients. In 3 patients, i.e. 10% ankylosis was present in the elbow joint; this was considered to constitute an indication for arthroplasty, which gave a better postoperative range of motion.
