A 1,018-kg (2,240-lb), 6-year-old bull was admitted for evaluation of a left forelimb lameness of 7 days' duration. Radiographic views of the proximal portion of the left forelimb revealed a type-III olecranon fracture that was minimally displaced. Conservative treatment, including stall confinement and administration of anti-inflammatory drugs, was attempted. Subsequent radiographic views, 27 days later, revealed displacement of the fracture with minimal callus formation. Open reduction and internal fixation was performed by placing a 4.5-mm, 10-hole broad dynamic-compression on the caudal surface of the olecranon. Good anatomic reduction was achieved, returning the bull to full weightbearing. Eight months following surgery the owners reported the bull was sound at a walk and able to breed cows.
一头体重1018千克（2240磅）、6岁的公牛因左前肢跛行7天前来就诊。左前肢近端的X光片显示为III型鹰嘴骨折，移位极小。尝试了保守治疗，包括圈养在畜栏并给予抗炎药物。27天后的后续X光片显示骨折移位，骨痂形成极少。通过在鹰嘴尾面放置一块4.5毫米、10孔的宽动力加压钢板进行切开复位内固定。实现了良好的解剖复位，公牛恢复了完全负重。术后八个月，牛主报告称这头公牛行走正常，能够与母牛交配。
