NCT05754320 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 50

Last updated 2023-03-03

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Background: While the tension band wiring (TBW) technique is commonly used for simple, displaced olecranon fractures, it is associated with complications such as hardware prominence. To date, studies comparing between the efficacy and safety of TBW and plate fixation for these fractures have not provided a conclusive answer.

Purposes: To investigate which of the two techniques provide better functional and radiological outcomes for simple displaced Mayo type 2A olecranon fractures, Which technique provides better patient-reported outcomes, What are the complication rates associated with each technique
