Despite being one of the most common injuries around the elbow, the optimal treatment of
olecranon fractures is far from established and stimulates debate among both general …

Purpose Simple displaced transverse olecranon fractures are traditionally managed
operatively with a tension band wire device (TBW). We compared clinical outcomes …

Background: Olecranon fractures are common injuries of the upper limb in adults. Simple
displaced trasverse fractures are generally surgically treated with tension-band wiring (TBW) …

Background Olecranon fractures are common and usually treated operatively either by
tension band wiring (TBW) or plate fixation (PF). The aim of this study was to assess early …

Purpose The olecranon fracture is an uncommon injury reported to incur many possible
complications in children. The aim of this study was to compare the outcome of two different …

Background The ideal implant for stable, noncomminuted olecranon fractures is
controversial. Tension band wiring (TBW) is associated with lower cost but higher implant …

The aim of this study was to evaluate risk factors for symptomatic hardware and removal of
hardware (ROH) after olecranon open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) and to assess …

Abstract Purpose The Proximal Ulna Dorsal Angulation (PUDA) is part of the proximal ulna's
normal anatomy. The importance of restoring ulnar anatomy characteristics precisely after …

Background Tension band wiring and plate fixation are common techniques used to
stabilize simple olecranon fractures and osteotomies of the olecranon. All suture fixation is …

Introduction Tension band wiring (TBW) used for olecranon fractures is afflicted with a high
rate of complications. The aim of this study was to compare the stability of the TBW versus an …
