Biomechanical analysis of tension band wiring (TBW) of transverse fractures of patella

PURPOSE: Tension band wiring is commonly used for fixation of simple transverse fractures. The popular configuration is parallel Kirschner wires (K-wires) and a stainless steel wire loop placed in a vertically oriented figure-of-8. METHODS: We used a wooden model of a patella with a midway transvers...
