Technique Tips
Drill a 2mm unicortical hole distal to the fracture at an angle towards the fracture. Then use a tenaculum clamp to reduce that fracture by placing one end in the drill hole and one tip proximal olecranon. compress and reduce the fracture. Then use jig to advance k-wires and drill holes for the implant. Keep tenaculum clamp engaged until final fixation is accomplished then remove.

great for simple proximal olecranon fractures. Simple easy to use. Good compression.
Seems to work well any case where classic tension-banding of the olecranon is an option (straight forward fracture or osteotomy), without the requirement of a second procedure for removal.
