Resumo

Olecranon fractures are frequently encountered in horses especially in foals. External trauma due to kicks or falls is the most common cause of the fracture. Treatment modalities of olecranon fractures including prolonged stall rest and surgical reconstruction of the different types of fractures have been proposed with different outcomes. This article describes a successful surgical reconstruction of an olecranon fracture in an adult horse repaired with a dynamic compression plate. The horse regained complete soundness and performed his job normally for additional 7 years. Information regarding the history, clinical signs, diagnosis, surgical treatment and long-term prognosis is discussed and compared with the current literature.
