“…The study with the lowest reported rate of irritation and subsequent implant removal utilized a cannulated screw and cable construct, which was demonstrated to be superior to the traditional modified tension band technique. 4 Alternatively, utilization of suture-based techniques also results in a marked reduction in soft tissue irritation 10 and lessens the need for reoperation. 7 Fixation with biodegradable materials is another approach, but not as widely available or feasible.…”

“…[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] The benefits of using suture tape augmentation include the theoretically reduction in postoperative complications, including wound healing and hardware pain. 11 Over the years, new techniques have been tried out using various non-metallic implants that could reduce the rate of complications related to the synthesis media. 12,13 The suture tape, as reported by the patients at follow-up controls, does not seem to cause any discomfort due to its presence, unlike metal implants, which in some cases cause pain and discomfort such as to motivate the patient to request a second surgery for removal ( Table 3).…”

“…Thus, this technique was modified in recent years. Non-absorbable polyester braided sutures are also applied to instead of wiring cable [1518]. In addition, the hybrid technique of cannulated screws and tension bands is proposed, two cannulated screws instead of Kirschner wires were inserted through by modified tension band wiring.…”
