The role of crossing screws as a mini-invasive treatment for isolated non-comminuted olecranon fractures

Conclusions Percutaneous or mini-open transcortical crossing screws for isolated non-comminuted olecranon fractures offer a cheap, simple, and efficient mini-invasive stable fixation that allows early rehabilitation with excellent results and minimal complications. A comparative study with tension band wiring (TBW) and plating is recommended before standardization of the technique.
