Twenty consecutive patients with displaced fractures of the olecranon were operated on using the tension-band wiring technique with a nonsliding pin. The patients were followed until clinical and radiographic healing or removal of the implant. Healing was uneventful in 19 patients after a median of 6 weeks. Redislocation occurred in 1 patient with a severely comminuted fracture. The design of the nonsliding pin eliminates outward pin migration, as well as migration into the medullary canal.Downloads
