A prospective observational study of 30 patients of avulsion fracture treated with tension band wiring followed up to 6 months

Abstract: Introduction: Wiring is the earliest forms of internal fixation. A loop of SS (Stainless steel-316L) wire is passed around the fragments or through the drill holes and the ends are twisted together. It is used in Fractures of patella, olecranon and malleolus, greater trochanter of femur, greater tuberosity humerus, lateral end clavicle. In the present study, tension band wire technique was used which include use of 2 K wires and SS wire. The 2 K wires used, anchors to the TBW loop made by the SS wires and prev… Show more

“…Anatomical reduction of the fracture fragment in displaced medial malleoli fractures also corrects the talar displacement which is vital in treatment of unstable fractures [9,10] . The results in this study are compared with Reddy KR et al [11] , Karra Bansilal [12] , Sagar Jawale [13] . In the study done by Reddy KR et al, good to excellent results were obtained in about 73.3% cases, in Karra Bansilal et al series, good to excellent results were obtained in 82% of cases.…”

“…We had 10% of patients with associated injuries like posterior malleolar fracture and tibial pilon fracture. [11] 43.3 30 20 6.7 Karra Bansilal [12] 50 32 14 4 Sagar Jawale [13] 77. Medial malleolus fractures in general necessitate exact anatomical reduction, since it is close to ankle joint, to reestablish near normal tibio-talar articulation.…”
