Advanced Tension Band Wiring Surgery
Tension Band Wiring Surgery helps fix kemik kırıkları, especially when dealing with tension forces. Research examining patellar fractures revealed that in many patients the fracture segments shifted more than 2 mm at the break site during early movement after the procedure. This surgical method helps treat fractures that could lead to mobility problems down the road.
The surgery's principle transforms tensile force into compression where the break occurs. Doctors often use this approach to treat patella fractures, as well as olecranon fractures. Research indicates that proper TBW surgery lets fractures heal within 12 weeks while keeping the bone alignment correct.
TBW surgery needs careful planning, though. Many surgeons say the procedure is simple and convenient with great results, but it requires absolute precision. This article covers what patients should know about the procedure, from getting ready through healing, so they can better understand their treatment choices.

We use advanced surgical techniques to improve patient outcomes. Our innovative approaches helps us to perform the surgery with precision and perfection.
Who Requires Tension Band Wiring Surgery
We recommend tension band wiring for:
- Displaced patella fractures
- Olecranon fractures
- Simple transverse or short oblique fractures with minimal comminution
Types of Tension Band Wiring Procedures
Our hospital offers specialised tension band wiring procedures:
- K-telleri and stainless steel wires for simple fractures using conventional TBW
- Modified two-tension-band (MTTB) technique that uses figure-zero oriented tension bands for complex fractures
- Suture tension band fixation to avoid hardware complications
- Ding's screw tension band wiring (DSTBW) that builds a solid 'integrated structure' to reduce migration risks
Ameliyat Öncesi Hazırlık
Doctors start with X-rays and other imaging tests to assess the fracture pattern. Patients need to follow these steps before surgery:
- Kan sulandırıcı ilaçları almayı bırakın
- Fast for several hours
- Get a physical examination to check fracture characteristics.
Tension Band Wiring Surgical Procedure
Patients receive general or local anestezi during the procedure. The surgeon creates a small incision at the fracture site, either at the elbow or knee. The process works like this:
- Line up bone fragments carefully (fracture reduction)
- Place two parallel K-wires through the bone fragments
- Apply stainless steel wire in a figure-of-eight pattern
- Tighten the wire to convert tensile forces into compression at the fracture site
Wire placement affects outcomes notably – horizontally oriented figure-of-eight improves interfragmentary compression a lot compared to standard vertical placement.
Ameliyat Sonrası İyileşme
Patients usually stay in the hospital for several days. The healing takes weeks to months. Recovery needs:
- Rest and limited movement for several weeks
- A splint or cast
- Limb elevation and ice packs
- Reçeteli ağrı kesici ilaç
Riskler ve Komplikasyonlar
- K-wire prominence
- K-wires might migrate and cause skin irritation or perforation
- Some patients need another surgery to remove hardware
- Enfeksiyon
- Pain persists in some patients even after hardware removal
Benefits of Tension Band Wiring Surgery
This technique gives patients several advantages:
- Simple, inexpensive, and effective treatment
- Less periosteal stripping
- Easy to perform and budget-friendly
- Patients can move earlier
Insurance Assistance for Tension Band Wiring Surgery
Insurance plans cover this procedure when it's needed medically. Coverage extends to pre-surgery consultations, hospital charges, surgeon fees and follow-up visits.
Second Opinion for Tension Band Wiring Surgery
Getting a second opinion will give a clear picture of your surgical needs. This step helps confirm your diagnosis and shows you other treatment options if they exist.
