Core Tip	Comminuted olecranon fractures present a clinical and surgical challenge. Fixation with traditional tension band constructs is difficult due to comminution involving the articular surface. We describe a method if achieving fixation using a precountoured olecranon plate. In our biomechanical model using composite bones as well as cadaveric specimen, this method of fixation provides fixation of comminuted olecranon fractures capable of withstanding the expected physiologic force in the early postoperative period.
