Abstract: Aim- To know the outcome of Treatment of Olecranon Fracture with Locking Compression Plate in Regional Institute of Medical Science, Manipur, Imphal, India. Introduction Olecranon fractures represent approximately 10 % of all fractures around the elbow and can be caused either by direct trauma or by indirect trauma. Material and Methods In Regional Institute of Medical Sciences, Imphal, Manipur. Thirty consecutive patients with fracture olecranon process of ulna treated with locking compression plate with follow up period of 6 months. Results Based on the DASH assessment criteria, the final outcome for all cases was excellent in 26 (86.66 %), good in 3 (10 %) and failure in 1 (3.33 %) patient. Conclusion Locking compression plate acts as an extra-medullary load bearing device, stablishing fracture fragments and ensuring early bony union. The locked plate-screw system produces a rigid screw-bone fixation which prevents malrotation or shortening. Early return of joint functions is easily achieved concurrent with fracture healing.
