Olecranon fractures: A biomechanical comparison of three tension band wiring fixation methods on bone models

CONCLUSION: The use of screw(s) shows higher biomechanical stability than K-wires in the TBW method. Double-screws fixation gives similar results in terms of the biomechanical load to failure compared to a large intramedullary screw fixation. Both screw methods can be used as stable constructs in clinical practice.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III, biomechanical trial.PMID:38115708 | DOI:10.1177/10225536231223109
