Abstract
Drawbacks of traction-absorbing wiring (TAW) in displaced fractures of the olecranon
were observed in 29 out of 55 consecutive patients. Sliding of the K wires, with resulting
skin troubles in 24 patients (10 patients with perforation of the skin), required
premature removal of the implant. Minor operative modifications in the TAW technique
are suggested in order to avoid these drawbacks.
