Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Elderly patients with an olecranon fracture will receive appropriate treatment as determined by the treating surgeon. Patients will then be assessed at 6 weeks, 6 months and 12 months post treatment. Assessments include, range of motion, patient reported outcomes and a strength test.
