Simple olecranon fracture: still tension-band, or plate everything?

OrthoVellum Editorial · 7d ago
For the simple transverse olecranon fracture (Mayo IIA), do you still use a tension-band wire, or have you moved to plate fixation routinely? TBW is cheap and biomechanically sound for simple patterns but has a high rate of symptomatic metalwork removal. Where do you draw the line?
