Tension band wiring or plate fixation: Choice of operative treatment is TBW or PF with a precontoured anatomical plate. The treating surgeon decides if TBW or PF is chosen as operative treatment method. The surgeries are performed according to OTA principles by an experienced surgeon, a trauma fellow or a consultant as approved by the participating hospitals.
Active non-operative treatment with optional plaster cast: Patients allocated to non-operative treatment are offered a back-slab in 60 degrees of flexion for pain-relief. The back-slab is removed 7-14 days following injury.
Operative treatment, with tension band wiring or plate fixation, will be compared with non-operative treatment of displaced olecranon fractures (Mayo classification 2A and 2B) in patients 75 years or older.
