Abstract

Objective: The study was designed to assess the effectiveness of locking compression plate for ocleranon fractures. Subject and methods: a prospective research. 65 patients with ocleranon fractures Mayo type IIB, IIIA, IIIB at Thong Nhat Hospital from January 2016 to January 2023. Follow up for 1 year. Results: there are 36 males and 29 females. The mean age was 43.3 ± 17.2 (from 50 to 84). All patients had fracture union after 1 year. According to the Mayo Elbow Performance Score – MEPS, 93.5% patients had a good or excellent outcome. 87.7% patients were satisfied after surgery. In post-operative complications, 5 cases of infectious surgery incision (7.7%), 1 patient with delayed union (1.54%), 7 case of impingement during elbow extension (10.8%) and 1 case of elbow osteoarthritis (1.54%). Conclusions: locking compression plate fixation for ocleranon fractures provides good results in fracture union, elbow function and good clinical outcomes.
