Olecranon fractureMayoDASHComplicationsOutcomeIntroduction The purpose of this retrospective study is to compare the clinical, functional outcome and complications occurrence between tension band wiring (TBW) and plate fixation both for simple and comminuted displaced olecranon factures. Materials and methods ...
Treatment of comminuted distal humeral intercondylar fracture using transolecranon approach Fracture of the distal humerus is rare, so the surgeons experience is limited. This injuries represent a constellation of complex articular fractures and anatomic complexity of distal humerus makes surgical treatment,...
Severely comminuted tibial condylar fracture is a major threat to the structures and function of the knee joint. Recently, anterior approach with Z-tenotomy of the patellar tendon was introduced for these complicated fractures. It provides wide exposure of the tibial articular surface for maximum joi...

Different fixation techniques for olecranon fractures and olecranon osteotomies include intramedullary and bi-cortical placed K-wires with a tension band, cancellous screw with and without tension band wiring, and plate fixation (single or double plating). In this chapter the surgical technqiue of bi...
