    <abstract locale="en_US">Background: Transolecranon fracture is an unstable intra-articular injury in the elbow caused by high-energy trauma. Here, we introduce a medial humerus plate for severely comminuted transolecranon fracture.
&#xD;

Case Report: This article presents the case of a 29-year-old man who had a severely comminuted transolecranon fracture due to a motorcycle accident. A dorsal longitudinal approach was used in order to reach the fracture site. An olecranon anatomical plate and a medial humerus plate were applied for fixation, a new treatment method. The range of motion (ROM) was complete at a two-month follow-up, and the Mayo Elbow Performance Score (MEPS) was obtained 100 with no signs of complications.
&#xD;

Conclusion: Despite the several methods available for fixing transolecranon fractures, using the medial humerus plate, especially in severe comminution, can yield acceptable results. It should be considered in future studies to prove its efficacy in this type of fracture.</abstract>
