- Abstract
Background and Objectives: Complications arising from transverse fractures of the patella, olecranon, and medial malleolus are a leading cause of disability. Among the available therapeutic options, tension band wiring is the most helpful for patient mobilisation at an early stage. Materials and Methods: In our study, which involved 50 patients requiring surgery at the Department of Orthopedics, Siddhartha Medical College, Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, India for fractures of the patella, olecranon, and medial malleolus, tension band wiring was used. This study was conducted between the January 2023 to December 2023. Various metrics were used to assess the functional outcome of the patients. Patients had radiological evaluation as well. Results: Among the top ratings given to the surgery, our research shows that it was 85% successful for patella. "Reduction" is the medical term most often used to describe the procedures performed to set broken bones. Manual techniques are used for less severe fracture reduction, while open reduction internal fixation is used for more severe fractures. Following this treatment, the motion of the broken bones is limited by means of a cast. For accurate and lawful healing to occur, the resting period is absolutely necessary. Conclusion: It is critical to have trials that show the operation is beneficial because of the frequency of knee fractures and the length of time it takes for the patella to recover. In order to successfully cure any fracture, early mobilization is essential.
