Key Points

To compare the outcomes of suture tension band fixation with traditional techniques for olecranon fractures.
Comparative study evaluating three techniques: plate fixation, suture tension band, and wire tension band.
Assessment of union rates and complications in each cohort of patients.
Measurement of overall surgical time for each fixation method.
100% union rates observed in all patient cohorts.
No complications in the plate or suture tension band groups.
1 patient in the wire tension band group had symptomatic hardware that required removal.
