Use of Kirschner Wires With Eyelets for Tension Band Wiring of Olecranon Fractures

Journal of Hand Surgery, 2013
To evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of tension band wiring of displaced olecranon fractures treated using Kirschner wires with eyelets to assess their clinical performance with respect to complications such as backing out of the K-wires, restriction of forearm rotation, and neurovascular injury.The authors retrospectively reviewed 44 ...

Treatment of a Bennett Fracture Using Tension Band Wiring

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.

[Tension band wiring osteosynthesis--studies on tension and fixation of the osteosynthesis wire].

Unfallchirurgie, 1991
In tension band wiring different tensioners and wire-connections are in use. Both of these were examined on tensile force during and after connection with help of a material-testing machine. Additionally the different connections were examined under traction-load.

Double Tension Band Wiring for Treatment of Olecranon Fractures

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).

Patellar tension band wiring: a revised technique

Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery, 2001
Using a modified AO tension band wiring technique to treat a patellar fracture has become popular and has achieved a high success rate. However, the technique of Kirschner wire insertion has not been considered in detail, which may migrate and consequently introduce fragments loss of reduction.

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.

Tension Band Wires

1986
The tension band principle states that if a column is subjected to eccentric loading, there are not only axial compressive forces but also additional bending forces that give rise to further compressive stresses and tensile stresses. In our example, the resultant compressive stresses equal 110 kilopounds/cm2 and the tensile stresses equal 90 kilopounds/

Tension band wiring for olecranon fractures

Orthopaedics and Traumatology, 1995
Surgical Principles Anatomical reduction of fragments and internal fixation with 2 Kirschner wires and a tension band wire stable enough to allow early exercises. This technique permits dynamic compression of fragments and a speedy consolidation of the fractures.

Tension Band Wiring of Olecranon Fractures

Shoulder and Elbow, 2009
Background Tension band wiring of olecranon fractures has been shown to be associated with a high rate of metalwork removal. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether this remained true or whether there had been a reduction in metalwork removal following improvements in surgical technique.

Olecranon Osteotomy With Tension Band Wire Repair

Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 2016
Purpose: The purpose of this video is to demonstrate the surgical technique of olecranon osteotomy with tension band wire repair. Methods: A patient with a comminuted, intra-articular distal humerus fracture requiring ORIF is presented in this video demonstration of the surgical ...
