Biomechanical Comparison of Single- and Double-Twist Tension Band, Cancellous Screw, and Single-Screw Tension Band Models in Medial Malleolus Fractures
Tension band method did not make a difference biomechanically when applied as a double or single twist. Single-screw tension band was found to be the most stable fixation method in tension, transverse, and axial loading tests. We think that the single-screw tension band method is a stable and suitable fixation method and should find more place in current surgical practices.
