Abstract
Background: Pediatric olecranon fractures require optimal fixation to prevent long-term morbidity. Tension band wiring (TBW) has been the gold standard, but tension band suturing (TBS) has emerged as a potential alternative. This study systematically reviews and compares outcomes of TBS and TBW in pediatric olecranon fractures.
Materials and methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted per Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Nine studies were included, with three directly comparing TBS to TBW.
Results: No statistically significant differences were found in pain, non-union, revision fixation, or extension loss (P>0.05). TBS demonstrated fewer hardware-related complications.
Conclusion: TBS is a viable alternative to TBW, offering similar outcomes with reduced hardware complications. Further high-quality studies are needed. [Orthopedics. 202x;4x(x):xx-xx.].
期刊介绍：
For over 40 years, Orthopedics, a bimonthly peer-reviewed journal, has been the preferred choice of orthopedic surgeons for clinically relevant information on all aspects of adult and pediatric orthopedic surgery and treatment. Edited by Robert D''Ambrosia, MD, Chairman of the Department of Orthopedics at the University of Colorado, Denver, and former President of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, as well as an Editorial Board of over 100 international orthopedists, Orthopedics is the source to turn to for guidance in your practice.
The journal offers access to current articles, as well as several years of archived content. Highlights also include Blue Ribbon articles published full text in print and online, as well as Tips & Techniques posted with every issue.
