Outcomes of suture tension band technique for fixation of olecranon fractures: a retrospective case series
The suture tension band technique is a viable option for managing simple olecranon fractures or fractures with minimal comminution that can be converted to a simple fracture pattern. This technique yields excellent clinical and radiographic outcomes and avoids hardware-related complications associated with tension band wiring and plate fixation. Larger cohorts and randomized clinical trials are needed to confirm these findings.
