Suture Fixation Versus Tension Band Wiring of Simple Displaced Olecranon Fractures

Summary

Simple displaced olecranon fractures are most often treated with tension band wiring. This is an effective treatment, but the risk of subsequent re-operation is high. The investigators propose open reduction and internal fixation with a strong suture, thus reducing the risk of re-operation significantly.

Conditions

  • Olecranon Fracture

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Suture fixation

The fracture is reduced. A 2.5 mm hole is drilled in the dorsal olecranon 15mm from the fracture. A suture is passed through the hole and is fixed to the triceps muscle. A second suture is fixed to the triceps muscle in a figure 8 configuration.
