Tension Band Wiring of Olecranon Fractures

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1992
One of the weaknesses of the tension band wiring technique for the treatment of olecranon fractures is that it may open up the fracture at the articular surface of the ulna. A simple modification of the technique eliminates this problem by converting the distracting forces at the articular surface of the joint to compressive forces.

Double Tension Band Wiring for Treatment of Olecranon Fractures

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2014
Although tension band wiring (TBW) is generally accepted as standard treatment for olecranon fractures, it has several shortcomings such as loss of reduction, skin irritation, and migration of the K-wires. To overcome these problems and increase fixation stability, we used a rigid fixation technique with double tension band wiring (DTBW).

Miniplate Augmented Tension-Band Wiring for Comminuted Patella Fractures

Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 2019
Summary: The aim of this study was to introduce various applications of miniplate augmented tension-band wiring (TBW) for comminuted patella fractures and to evaluate the clinical outcomes. Comminuted articular patella fractures were managed with anterior cortical miniplate fixation with a TBW technique from January 2014 to January 2016.

Wireless Tension Band Wiring for Olecranon Fractures : Case Series

Lebanese Medical Journal, 2016
This retrospective study evaluates the results of wireless tension band wire (WTBW) which is a modified technique of tension band wires (TBW) for Mayo type II A and III A olecranon fractures. In this technique the K-wires of the TBW are replaced by a cerclage wire while keeping the figure of eight wiring.We reviewed retrospectively our WTBW cases done ...

Treatment of Phalangeal Fractures by Tension Band Wiring

Journal of Hand Surgery, 2001
This retrospective study assessed the outcomes of 30 patients with phalangeal fractures which were treated by open reduction and tension band wiring. Oblique, transverse and comminuted extraarticular fractures, as well as intraarticular fractures, were treated with this technique and they all united in about 8 weeks.

Modified Tension Band Wiring of Medial Malleolar Ankle Fractures

Foot & Ankle International, 1995
Twenty-two displaced medial malleolar ankle fractures that were treated surgically using the modified tension band method of Cleak and Dawson were retrospectively reviewed at an average follow-up of 25 months. The technique involves the use of a screw to anchor a figure-of-eight wire. There were no malreductions and all fractures healed. Problems with

Treatment of a Bennett Fracture Using Tension Band Wiring

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2012
To describe and assess a tension band wiring technique for the treatment of Bennett fractures and to compare this technique of open reduction and internal fixation versus closed reduction and percutaneous pinning.From July 2005 to April 2008, we treated 56 Bennett fractures in 56 patients using tension band wiring.

Minimally Invasive Tension Band Wiring Technique for Olecranon Fractures

Techniques in Hand & Upper Extremity Surgery, 2013
Some types of implants, such as plates, screws, wires, and nails, have been used for open reduction and internal fixation of olecranon fractures. A ≥ 10 cm longitudinal incision is used for open reduction and internal fixation of olecranon fractures. According to previous studies, tension band wiring is a popular method that gives good results. However,

Olecranon tension plating or olecranon tension band wiring? A comparative biomechanical study

International Orthopaedics, 2015
The complication rate of a tension band wiring (TBW) used for the internal fixation of olecranon fractures remains high. The aim of this study was to compare the stability of a novel olecranon tension plate (OTP) with TBW in a simulated fracture model.We tested 12 fresh frozen-pairs of cadaver proximal ulnae treated with OTP and TBW under cyclic ...

Factors influencing K-wire migration in tension-band wiring of olecranon fractures

Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, 2014
Tension-band wiring is a popular method of internal fixation for simple olecranon fractures. Although fracture union rates and clinical outcomes are good, up to 80% of patients require removal because of prominent/symptomatic metalwork. The current literature remains unclear as to the best orientation of the longitudinal wires to minimize hardware ...
