Home > Olecranon Plate (Stainless / Titanium)
The olecranon plate is an anatomic plate shaped to wrap the tip of the elbow, fixing olecranon fractures from the dorsal tension side with screws that run down the length of the process. The range covers stainless and titanium versions contoured for the olecranon tip — genuine original Zimmer Biomet implants stocked by BoneCraft and supplied through independent distribution.
Olecranon fractures interrupt the extensor mechanism of the elbow, and the triceps never stops testing the repair. Plating answers with a rigid tension-side construct, and the anatomic olecranon plate takes the concept further by wrapping the tip itself: its proximal end curves over the process and places screws down the long axis of the fragment, where a straight plate has nothing to grip.
The olecranon is also the least forgiving hardware site in the body — subcutaneous from tip to shaft, leaned on daily, and the leading source of plate-removal requests in elbow trauma. A plate that is pre-contoured and low on the bone earns its place there. The choice between plating and tension-band wiring, and the configuration used, remain with the operating surgeon.
The plate is seated on the dorsal ridge with its curved proximal end over the olecranon tip. Proximal screws are driven down the process along its long axis, and shaft screws fix the plate distally. Versions in the range reach up to seventeen holes and one hundred and fifty-four millimetres for constructs that bridge comminution into the proximal shaft.
