The treatment of olecranon fractures frequently involves the use of tension band fixation. Although associated with high union rates, this method has a high incidence of morbidity associated with soft tissue compromise and limitation of range of movement requiring frequent re-operation for removal of metal. We describe the use of a simple jig to ensure intramedullary placement of longitudinal K-wires and compare the accuracy of placement of wires using this device with the traditional free hand method.Background
