Treatment for complex olecranon fractures with metaphyseal comminution can be challenging. To improve reduction maneuvers and augment stability, we apply a small medial and/or lateral locking compression plate (LCP) prior to placing a posterior contoured 3.5 mm-2.7 mm LCP. The aim is to describe our technique and outcomes of this "orthogonal" plating technique.
