  Abstract: Background: Tension-band wiring is a widely accepted fixation technique and remains a standard method of surgical treatment in displaced olecranon fractures. There are 2 techniques according to the Kirschner wires (K-wires) placements; one is to insert the K-wires into the intramedullary canal of the proximal ulna and the other is provided by those anchored into the anterior cortex of the ulna. The purpose of this study was to compare biomechanical …
