Olecranon Stress Fracture Treatment Handout

Diagnosis involves a clinical examination and imaging studies such as X-rays or MRI scans to assess the severity and displacement of the fracture.

Nonoperative treatment includes rest, activity modification, immobilization with a sling or splint, pain management, and physical therapy to regain strength and mobility.

Surgery is recommended for displaced fractures, unstable fractures, or when nonoperative treatments fail to promote healing effectively.
