Abstract：BACKGROUND:Improper treatment of olecranon fractures wil affect elbow function. To reduce the incidence of complications and good recovery of elbow function, it is important to give accurate reduction and rigid internal fixation of olecranon fracture. <br> OBJECTIVE:To investigate the anatomic locking compression plate in the repair of olecranon fracture. <br> METHODS:Anatomical locking compression plate was used for open reduction and fixation in 36 cases of olecranon fracture. The recovery of elbow joint function of patients after operation was evaluated. <br> RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:36 cases of olecranon fracture received anatomical locking compression plate for open reduction and fixation, and were folowed up for more than 6 months. No early complications were found in the incision such as infection or hematoma. They were primarily healed. Broberg and Morrey evaluation showed that the excelent and good rate was 94% (34/36). It is concluded that anatomical locking compression plate for olecranon fracture is simple to be operated. The fixation is firm. The patients can do early exercise postoperatively, less complications and good recovery of elbow joint function.
