Introduction: Distal humerus fractures are rare and challenging to treat. Anatomic reduction of the articular surface and stable osteosynthesis are mandatory for satisfactory results. The transolecranon approach allows superior visualisation of the joint. However, controversy exists regarding how best to fix the osteotomy. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the eligibility of a one-third tubular hook plate for osteosynthesis of olecranon osteotomies in distal humerus type-C fractures.

Patients and methods: A consecutive series of 34 patients who were treated through an olecranon osteotomy and underwent fixation using a one-third tubular hook plate were identified. Thirty-one patients (17 females, 14 males) with a median age of 50 years (14-87, standard deviation (SD) 18.3) were available for a comprehensive assessment after a mean of 12.3 months (6-20, SD 3.7).
