Abstract

Broken olecranon bones, an elbow region of the horse, are common, particularly in foals. These fractures are largely caused by trauma from kicks or falls. Treatment options for these fractures include stall rest and surgical reconstruction. The subject information, background, clinical findings, and results of a sizable number of horses fixed with tension band plates for type 1b olecranon fractures were assessed. A review of the olecranon fracture diagnosis data for 77 horses was conducted by the author. A type 1b olecranon fracture was found in 24 horses (31%) of the total. The clinical data and post-operative results (4-128 months post-surgery) were documented. With internal plate fixation, an animal with athletic ability has an extremely positive attitude. The management and prognosis of type 1b olecranon fractures can be improved by a fracture repair technique known as tension band plate fixation, the results of which are reported here. Internal plate fixation is the most effective after experimental investigation.
