Biomechanical comparison of bi- and tricortical k-wire fixation in tension band wiring osteosynthesis

BACKGROUND: Patients with a simple transversal fracture of the olecranon are often treated with a tension band wiring (TBW), because it is known as a biomechanically appropriate and cost-effective procedure. Nevertheless, the technique is in detail more challenging than thought, resulting in a consi...
