If the fracture alignment is good after the olecranon fracture and the flatness of the articular cartilage surface of the olecranon is not damaged, the elbow joint can be fixed by 70-90 degrees for six weeks to promote the recovery of the olecranon fracture. If there is obvious displacement of the fracture end after olecranon fracture, and it causes the flatness destruction of olecranon articular cartilage surface, it is necessary to perform surgical reduction and internal fixation treatment to restore the alignment of fracture end, restore the flatness of olecranon articular cartilage surface, and restore the normal flexion and extension of elbow joint in the later period.
