J o u r n a l P r e -p r o o f 100% union rates for all patients in each cohort.There were no complications in the plate or suture tension band groups, while 1 patient in the wire tension band had symptomatic hardware that required removal. Conclusion:This paper reports on a novel technique of suture tension band using Kirschner wires with eyelets.This technique appears to be associated with comparable outcomes to the two traditional techniques, including plate fixation and tension band fixation with K-wires in this preliminary study.However, it also required less overall surgical time.Future studies should focus on the long-term outcomes of this technique, as compared to traditional and more established techniques to treat olecranon fractures.
