| Abstract: | We present a case of pathological fracture of olecranon through a giant geode. Fracture was initially undisplaced and was
treated conservatively. It later progressed to a transolecranon dislocation as a result of a pseudarthrosis at the fracture
site. The patient presented 4 years later when she developed symptoms of ulnar nerve palsy. She was treated by a total elbow
arthroplasty with ulnar nerve transposition. The current report highlights this unusual case and reviews the relevant literature. |
