Technique Using Isoelastic Tension Band for Treatment of Olecranon Fractures.
The isoelastic ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene tension band may be considered an alternative to stainless steel wire for tension band fixation of olecranon fractures. In this article, we present our technique using this isoelastic tension band and describe the outcomes of 7 patients who underwent open reduction and internal fixation of closed, displaced olecranon fractures with minimal ...
متن کاملTension suture fixation using 2 washers for proximal humeral fractures.
The surgical treatment for proximal humeral fractures is challenging, especially in patients with osteoporosis. Locking plates and intramedullary nails have been widely used with satisfactory results, but previously reported complications have not been substantially reduced. Several authors have emphasized the importance of maintaining soft tissues around the proximal humerus with respect to li...
متن کاملPercutaneous Tension-Band Suture Technique for Distal Patella Fracture Fixation
MOJ Orthop Rheumatol 2017, 8(3): 00315 reported rates up to 60 % [3,8,9]. For this reason, some have advocated the use of nonabsorbable sutures such as braided polyester, lowering the rate of revision surgery secondary to symptomatic hardware [3,10-14]. Studied suture material has included number 5 Ethibond (Ethicon, Somerville, NJ, USA), number 5 Ti-Cron (Davis and Geck, Gosport, Hampshire, UK...
متن کاملClinical results of the re-fixation of a Chevron olecranon osteotomy using an intramedullary cancellous screw and suture tension band
Exposure of the distal humerus in case of an articular fracture is often performed through a Chevron osteotomy of the olecranon. Several options have been described for re-fixation of the Chevron osteotomy. Pull-out of the hard-wear is often seen as complication. In this study, an evaluation of the re-fixation of the Chevron osteotomy through a cancellous screw and suture tension band was perfo...
متن کاملRevisiting Tension Band Fixation for Difficult Patellar Fractures.
Patella fractures with comminution, osteoporotic bone, and/or previously failed fixation are exceedingly difficult to reduce and fix. Moreover, the risk of symptomatic constructs and patients who are poorly compliant with postoperative activity restrictions can make these complex fracture patterns an even more challenging scenario. Although there is an array of techniques described for comminut...
