Abstract

The traditional standard of care, tension band wire fixation modalities commonly used to treat non-comminuted olecranon fractures, are frequently associated with complications, with symptomatic hardware being the most common issue, often necessitating subsequent surgical procedures for hardware removal. We present a case of a young, active gentleman who sustained a simple olecranon fracture (Mayo type IIA) and underwent open reduction with the innovative all-suture non-metallic internal fixation procedure. We used a low-profile, cost-effective alternative fracture fixation technique, following the principles of pre-existing surgical techniques, while utilizing FiberWire sutures with biomechanical properties equivalent to, or possibly superior to, conventionally used metallic wires, thereby eliminating the need for additional surgical intervention. Furthermore, we reviewed the literature for similar reported cases and highlighted their results and outcomes.

不使用金属植入物的钢丝缝合线治疗鹰嘴骨折:一个案例研究和文献回顾。
通常用于治疗非粉碎性鹰嘴骨折的传统护理标准,张力带金属丝固定方式,经常与并发症相关,最常见的问题是有症状的内固定物,通常需要后续手术去除内固定物。我们报告一位年轻,活跃的男士,他患有简单的鹰嘴骨折(梅奥IIA型),并采用创新的全缝合非金属内固定手术进行切开复位。我们采用了一种低姿态、低成本的替代骨折固定技术,遵循已有手术技术的原则,同时使用纤维线缝合线,其生物力学性能相当于或可能优于传统金属丝,从而消除了额外手术干预的需要。此外,我们回顾了类似报告病例的文献,并强调了它们的结果和结果。
