Nonunion is a rare complication after surgical treatment of olecranon fracture, but indeed it is a devastating one because of the high potential for elbow stiffness, pain, soft tissue and skin problems, and device complaining. To our knowledge, there is no treatment of choice for olecranon nonunion in the literature. Here we describe a unique and new technique by sliding osteotomy of the olecranon in the form of prism and refixation with tension band wiring. Then, we report the clinical results for our 2 patients operated using this technique.
