Contribution of the olecranon to elbow stability: an in vitro biomechanical study.

Background: The amount of the olecranon that can be removed without substantially affecting the kinematics and stability of the elbow is controversial. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of serial resections of the olecranon on elbow kinematics and stability.Methods: Eight fresh,...
