Abstract

Introduction

Displaced olecranon fractures in the elderly are challenging due to associated comorbidities, poor tissue quality, high risk of complications, and the possible need for implant removal. Treatment options with such fractures range from non-operative management to internal fixation with various types of implants. Currently, there is no consensus on the treatment of olecranon fractures in the elderly with relatively low functional demand.

Aim

The aim of this systematic review was to analyse the clinical outcomes of various treatment modalities for olecranon fracture in the elderly.
