Purpose: To report the clinical results of two cases of coronoid process fractures that were treated with volar plating through a medial approach.
Materials and Methods : Two fractures of the coronoid process that needed to be fixed were managed with open reduction and internal fixation through a medial approach using 2.4 mm locking compression plates (Compact Hand set®, Synthes, Switzerland). The patients were followed up for 14 months and 17 months and were evaluated using the Mayo Elbow Performance Score (MEPS).
Results: The MEPS was 95 for Case 1 and 100 for Case 2. Active elbow joint motions were 5˚-120˚(Case 1) and 0˚-130˚(Case 2). Supination and pronation fully recovered.
Conclusion: Satisfactory results can be obtained in cases of coronoid process fractures because volar plating through a medial approach allows sound fixation and early mobilization of the elbow joint.
