Abstract: IntroductionOpen reduction and internal fixation has long been accepted as optimal treatment for displaced olecranon fractures based on poor results seen with conservative management. With the presence of comminution, tension-band wiring constructs are contraindicated due… read more here.

Abstract: Severely comminuted olecranon fractures are challenging injuries. Commonly used tension band wiring exerts excessive compressive forces causing olecranon shortening and joint incongruity. This study aimed to introduce the embedded rafting k-wire technique with the bridging… read more here.
