Traditional tension band wiring (TBW) is the gold standard treatment for simple transverse patella fractures. Damage to soft tissues and malposition of metal-work can lead to complications.A new study published in Injury tested three novel techniques for fixation of simple transverse patella fractures, to ease application without additional resources to traditional TBW.Here, the biomechanical integrity of the novel techniques was tested against the traditional TBW. Overall, four configurations w...

Very good technique for simple transversevfractures of patella but I am more confident with TB Wiring on 2 Straight K wires or two cancelleous screws
