Abstract
|
|
|
We have experienced twenty two fractures involving joint, eight olecranon, seven patella, and other seven malleolus respectively.
All these fractures were treated by open reduction and tension band wiring.
The advantages obtained in tension band wiring are as follows;
1. Good. apposition and #irm internal fixation can be achieved.
2. Tension band is of benefit to fracture healing by firm fixation in cancellous part.
3. early joint motion-and weight bearing reduce the degree of disability and speed up funtional restoration.
4. Further remedial treatment such as physical therapy after prolonged plaster immobilization is usually unnecessary.
5. Tension band wiring is. recommended the treatment of choice beyond all other methods of internal fixation in above fractures involving intra-articular surface.
