Open fractures of olecranon are not a rare occurrence in patients with road traffic accidents particularly motor bike riders who don't use elbow guards. Definitive treatment has to be delayed in many till the wound heals. The present study was conducted to evaluate the results of open fractures of olecranon using clamp-cum-compressor device.
