A Tension-Band Wiring Technique for Direct Fixation of a Chaput Tubercle Fracture: Technical Note
- Abstract
- Few reports have described direct fixation of the Chaput tubercle; screw fixation is usually employed. Herein, we introduce a novel technique for Chaput tubercle fixation using tension-band wiring. This technique is applicable to fractured tubercles of various sizes and has the advantage that the fragment breakage that may occur during screw fixation is impossible. In addition, our technique increases fixation strength.
