A bone plate designed specifically to accomplish fixation of an olecranon fracture and consisting of a generally L-shaped plate including a first elongated flange and a second flange at one end of the first flange disposed at generally right angles relative to the first flange. The first flange includes a plurality of longitudinally spaced apertures through which bone attaching screws may be secured and the second flange also includes a single aperture. Screws or pins may be passed through the aperture in the second short flange and the adjacent aperture in the longer flange and anchored in the proximal fragment so as to fix and position the latter relative to the plate and the remaining portion of the long flange is then secured by screws or pins to the distal ulna after the fracture is compressed.
