Abstract
- We have experienced 52 intra-articular fractures(24 malleolar, 17 patellar, 11 olecranon) treated with tension band wiring from 1972 to 1981 and the results are as followings; 1. The operative technique is relatively simple and easy. 2. In avulsion fractures without communition, anatomical reduction and rigid internal fixation can be achieved. 3. In comminuted fractures, the fragments can be securely fixed with a few additional K-wires including tension band wiring. 4. In avulsion fractures, where the fragment is either too small for screw fixation or too osteoporotic a tension band wiring can be applied with no difficulty. 5. Early joint motion reduces the functional disability and promote the fracture healing.
