The aim of this work was to develop and test a method for the generation of distal humerus fractures and olecranon fractures in human specimens, while preserving the soft tissue envelope.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Twenty-one cadaveric upper extremity specimens (7 female, 14 male) were used. Two different experimental setups were developed, one to generate distal humerus fractures and one to generate olecranon fractures. Specimens were placed in a material testing machine and fractured with a predefined displacement. The force required for fracturing and the corresponding displacement were recorded and the induced energy was derived of the force\u2013displacement graphs. After fracturing, CT imaging was performed and fractures were classified according to the AO classification.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Eleven distal humerus fractures and 10 olecranon fractures with intact soft tissue envelope could be created. Distal humerus fractures were classified as AO type C (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20099) and as type B (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20092), all olecranon fractures were classified as AO type B (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200910). Distal humerus fractures required significantly more load than olecranon fractures (6077\u00a0N\u2009\u00b1\u20091583 vs 4136\u00a0N\u2009\u00b1\u20092368, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.038) and absorbed more energy until fracture than olecranon fractures (17.8\u00a0J\u2009\u00b1\u20099.1 vs 11.7\u00a0J\u2009\u00b1\u20097.6, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.11), while the displacement at fracture was similar (5.8\u00a0mm\u2009\u00b1\u20091.6 vs 5.9\u00a0mm\u2009\u00b1\u20093.1, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.89).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The experimental setups are suitable for generating olecranon fractures and distal humerus fractures with intact soft tissue mantle for surgical training and biomechanical testing.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00402-021-04286-0","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,1]],"date-time":"2022-01-01T07:16:29Z","timestamp":1641021389000},"page":"3853-3861","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Standardized fracture creation in the distal humerus and the olecranon for surgical training and biomechanical testing"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"142","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2962-2594","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Werner","family":"Schmoelz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jan Philipp","family":"Zierleyn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Romed","family":"Hoermann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rohit","family":"Arora","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,1]]},"reference":[{"issue":"5","key":"4286_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1194","DOI":"10.1097\/PRS.0b013e318287a0b3","volume":"131","author":"SV Kotsis","year":"2013","unstructured":"Kotsis SV, Chung KC (2013) Application of the \u201csee one, do one, teach one\u201d concept in surgical training.
