Fractures of the olecranon: treatment by external fixation
Italian Journal of Orthopaedics and Traumatology
|June 1, 1982
Abstract:
The Burghele fixation device for the treatment of fractures of the olecranon can be applied with or without exposing the fracture. It ensures good stability and compression of the fracture. It can be used in open, closed and infected fractures and in those where there is a skin defect. It can also be used in fractures of the olecran associated with dislocation of the elbow.
