Summary

Surgery of the elbow joint is often made difficult by the highly constrained nature of the elbow joint. This is why it is often necessary to perform an osteotomy of the olecranon, the proximal part of the ulna, which allows perfect exposure of the entire articular surface. After performing the osteotomy, access to the joint is obtained, the articular problem is solved as appropriate and, upon completion, the osteotomized bone is fixed with a stable fixation system that allows the osteotomy to heal without problems. It is a safe, reproducible procedure that is associated with low associated morbidity. The main problems associated with this procedure are the lack of consolidation of the osteotomy or the need for removal of the osteosynthesis material at a later stage.
