A comparative study of outcome of tension band wiring and hook plating in fracture olecranon

Background: Olecranon fractures are common upper limb fracture accounting for 40% of the around elbow. Anatomic reduction and restoration joint surface is required good outcome to prevent post-traumatic arthritis. This study was directed towards functional results complications surgical management olecranon treated with hook plate fixation tension band wiring. Methods: prospective comparative done at a tertiary care centre from 2019 2022. consisted 30 patients which 15 were wiring plate. All followed up minimum follow six months evaluated their using Mayo elbow performance score. Results: In this study, average age 34 years in TBW group 37 group. The mean score after 6 88.33 (excellent) 90 (excellent). Superficial infection present 2 Elbow stiffness Hardware impingement one patient each Conclusions: To achieve early movements like traumatic arthritis we need perfect anatomical intra-articular olecranon. showed no significant difference both techniques, but more TBW.
