Olecranon
Definition:
(n.) The large process at the proximal end of the ulna which projects behind the articulation with the humerus and forms the bony prominence of the elbow.
Example Sentences:

(2) Operative treatment was used 22 times (5 sesamoid fractures, 5 midtibial fractures, 5 metatarsal V base fractures, 3 tarsal navicular fractures, 3 olecranon fractures, and 1 proximal tibial shaft fracture).
(3) We measured QL with the lymph cannula held at various heights above the olecranon and calculated Po as the height + QL X cannula resistance.
(4) The smaller angle (a) and larger central angle in the dislocation group are a result of a lower coronoid process, but they are also due to the prominent tip of the olecranon.
(5) Osteoradionecrosis of the olecranon is an unusual pathologic entity, treated best by debridement and wound closure using vascularized tissue.
(6) Medial incongruity between the trochlea and the olecranon greater than or equal to 5 mm was found in 29% of CUTS cases and in 6% of normal elbows.

(8) In 6 specimens, dense fibrous bands bridged directly between the medial epicondyle and the olecranon proximal to the cubital tunnel proper; accessory epitrochleoanconeus muscles were present in 14 specimens: both may cause ulnar neuropathy at the elbow.
(9) An osteotomy was performed and the hole in the olecranon fragment was overdrilled to form a gliding hole.
(10) Not enough importance has been attached to the strong triceps, with large muscle mass reaching far down to the olecranon, which might cause irritation of the nerve by pressing it against the wall of the sulcus or dislocating it over the epicondyle.
(11) The mechanism of injury was thought to be a fall on the dorsum of a partially flexed forearm, in which the trochlea and capitellum are displaced by the fractured olecranon and the radial head.
