The primary advantage of the Locking Olecranon Plates lie in early functional postoperative treatment. Conventional fracture treatment with tension bands and subsequent immobilization can lead to heterotopic ossifications and subsequent limited mobility in the elbow.
Properties of the implant:
Multi-directional Locking
Anatomically contoured
Optimal reconstruction of the joint surface
Simple positioning due to sliding hole
Olecranon Hook Plate:
Sliding hole with compression option up to 4mm
Lengths: 5-hole left/right | 7, 9-hole left | 7, 9-hole right
Olecranon Plate:
Lengths: 6, 8, 10, 12-hole
Oblong hole for optimal positioning and adjustment of ulna length

All dislocated fractures of the olecranon
Contraindications:
General problems with blood clotting
