1. A triceps-sparing olecranon fracture repair device, the device comprising: a buttress plate having an inner surface and an outer surface comprising: a plurality of intramedullary rods indivisibly affixed to the inner surface, the intramedullary rods configured to prevent rotation of a patient's corpus ulnae relative to the patient's olecranon process when the intramedullary rods are inserted within the intramedullary space of the patient's bone and the buttress plate is fixated over the patient's olecranon process; and at least one standoff indivisibly affixed to the inner surface and extending therefrom, the standoff having an end configured to contact bone and adapted to space the buttress plate inner surface over the patient's distal triceps tendon on a posterior radius of the patient's olecranon process to prevent compression by the buttress plate of the patient's triceps tendon when the intramedullary rods are inserted within the intramedullary space of the patient's bone and the buttress plate is fixated by at least one fixation screw through the at least one fixation screw hole.
