ABSTRACT
Our study is concerning a serial of 96 cases of the olecranonbone fracture treated within the department of Orthopedics in H.M.I.M.V between 1995 and 2000.The average age is 34 years [17-59 years], with a most dominance of males [84.3%]. The left side is most concerned [67.7%] although. The circumstances of the trauma are due to a direct traumatism caused by a fall on the olecranon-bone [83.3%]. The diagnosis are based on clinic observation and confirmed by regular radiography for all cases. All fractures are joint displaced. The treatment comprises at first a reduction of the fracture and restrain with osteosynthesis technics for all cases [100%]: embrochage-haubannage with vicryl n°2, in number eight like figure with framing. Our post-operatory resultsare presented as follows, according to Tomeno criteria: 67.7% are very good results, 17.7% are good, 9.3% are average, 5.2% are unsatisfactory. In conclusion, our therapy approach for displaced olecranon-bone is surgically based on pinning-haubanage with vicryl and completed by plaster immobilisation. We have, in this respect, obtained satisfactory functional results
