A case series of percutaneous tension band wiring technique for fixation of fractures of olecranon and patella

<p class="abstract">There are several advantages in the treatment of fractures by means closed reduction. Percutaneous fixation is a type biological fixation. The aim and objectives this study to demonstrate technique percutaneous tension band wiring cases transverse, non- comminuted olecranon patella decrease soft tissue dissection, blood loss, chances infection ensure speedy mobilization using innovative technique.<strong> </strong>This retrospective includes ten patients operated same surgeon. All were with for patella. There six males four females fractures. seven three who suffered average duration surgery was 55 minutes follow up 24±6 weeks. suture removal done at 2 had full range movements weeks significantly improved DASH score Oxford knee score. None any complications. decreases bleeding secondary unnecessary thereby decreasing post-operative morbidity. It also, convincingly, promotes early mobilization. Closed reduction believed be an innovative, safe, reliable efficient method managing these difficult fractures.</p>
