ABSTRACT:
A method for repairing fractures of the olecranon including creating a hole in the proximal end of the ulna, where the hole extends from the proximal end of the ulna to the fracture to define a first region, and from the fracture to the proximal end of the medullary canal to define a second region. A screw is selected having a cancellous section and a medullary section extending from the cancellous section. The cancellous section includes a threaded region adjacent the medullary section and the medullary section is adapted to fit into the medullary canal of the ulna. The medullary section is installed into the hole up to the threaded region and the screw is then rotated to drive the threaded region into the hole until the threaded region engages the cancellous bone surrounding the hole in the second region and the medullary section extends substantially into the medullary canal.
