A Novel Positioning Technique for Olecranon Fracture Fixation
Various positioning techniques have been described for the osteosynthesis of olecranon fractures, each with their own pros and cons. The supine position is time-efficient and better suited in a polytrauma setting but frequently requires an assistant to maintain optimal limb positioning. Also, adequa...

description | Various positioning techniques have been described for the osteosynthesis of olecranon fractures, each with their own pros and cons. The supine position is time-efficient and better suited in a polytrauma setting but frequently requires an assistant to maintain optimal limb positioning. Also, adequate fluoroscopic imaging is not possible without moving the operative extremity outside the sterile field. We describe a simple and reproducible method addressing these limitations while providing excellent surgical access and intraoperative imaging. |
