Surgical technique in tension band wiring method for selected comminuted olecranon fractures

Background The use of tension band wiring (TBW) for comminuted olecranon fractures is less recommendable these days. However, some experts preferentially apply TBW to comminuted fractures resulting in favorable outcomes. We here present the surgical technique using TBW with eyelet and absorbable pins for selected comminuted olecranon fractures and review the clinical and radiographic outcomes.
