Is the novel olecranon tension plate a valid alternative to tension band wiring of olecranon fractures? A biomechanical study on cadaver bones.

The low-profile OTP, using the principles of pre-tensioning, lag, cortical, and angular stable screws together, demonstrated similar stability after olecranon fracture fixation when compared with the TBW technique and a lag screw in the olecranon fracture model with a third wedge fragment.
