- Abstract
Introduction: Tension band is not a particular implant, it is a principle. This technique converts a tensile force into a compressive force. Tension bands can enable immediate motion at the involved joints, which allows for an improved functional outcome. Materials and methods: A prospective study was taken up among 20 patients undergoing tension band wiring satisfying the inclusion criteria, in the department of orthopedics, SVS Medical College, Yenugonda, Mahabubnagar from Sept 2017 to Aug 2019. Results: Excellent outcome was seen in 55% and 45% had shown good outcome. Complications were not reported. Conclusion; Tension band wiring is a simple, inexpensive technique and effective means of fixing fracture based on biomechanical principles with minimum complications.
