Özet

Olecranon epiphysis fractures are relatively uncommon in childhood, and most are undisplaced or minimally displaced fractures that can be treated by conservative methods. Closed reduction is the treatment of choice but if this fails, operative treatment should follow without delay. In this article, the case of a patient who had surgical treatment of this unusual childhood fracture is presented.
