The gold standard treatment methods of displaced olecranon fractures are
mainly tension band wiring or plate fixation, while other methods and also conservative
treatment has been brought up. Randomized
controlled trials were systematically gathered from six databases including
methodological quality assessment of articles. Of 1518 identified records finally five were
relevant. Outcome measures varied from patient rated and physician-rated
measures to radiological outcomes. Based on our review, there was no difference
in outcome measures between tension band wiring and plate fixation in five to
36 month follow-up.
