    Objectives: This study aims to compare the biomechanical features of a new handy tension hand with the malleolar screw, bicortical screw and conventional tension hand for the fixation of transverse medial malleolar fractures. Materials and methods: This study used 20 Kirschner wires, five cerclage wires, six double-hole U pins, six cortical screws, six malleolar screws, three malleolar clamps and one osteotomy set. A total of 24 tibias of two-year-old cows were obtained and stripped from soft tissue. Each tibia was cut with an electric saw at 15 cm proximal to the tibiotalar joint surface and the proximal tibia sections were discarded. A transverse fracture line was created with an asteotome on the medial malleolus. The tibias were separated into four groups with six tibias in each group. The distal tibia medial malleolar transverse fragments were fixed under guidance of fluoroscopy with the malleolar screw, bicortical screw, conventional tension band and the new handy tension band. Results: In the application of both transverse and axial force, the new handy tension band resisted higher forces in respect of catastrophic damage force being more resistant compared to the bicortical screw, malleolar screw and conventional tension band. However, in respect of the 2 mm displacement force of the forces applied in the axial and transverse sections, no difference was determined between the handy tension hand and the other three implants. Conclusion: The new handy tension band seems to be more successful when hiomechanically compared with the other implants.

    Suture anchor fixation may be an alternative to tension band wiring in olecranon fractures: Finite element analysis
    (Turkish Joint Diseases Foundation, 2020) Kuru, Tolgahan; Mutlu, Ibrahim
    Objectives: This study aims to analyze and compare total deformations with tension band wiring (TBW), intramedullary screw (IS) and novel suture anchor (SA) fixation methods, and to investigate practicality of SA fixation in olecranon fractures using finite element analysis (FEA). Materials and methods: This finite element analysis study was conducted between May 2019 and October 2019. TBW, IS and SA fixation methods were compared in order to analyze fracture behavior in the ulna and humerus using FEA, which is among the mathematical methods of stress analysis. Boundary conditions were applied to the created model and total deformation amounts were compared among the methods in terms of displacement. Results: The lowest amount of displacement was obtained with TBW method (1.2095 mm), while IS method (2.7703 mm) showed the highest amount of total displacement. Total displacement was lower with SA system (2.0397 mm) compared to IS fixation. In addition, no problem was observed with SA system in terms of failure occurrence. Conclusion: According to the results of FEA, although the lowest amount of displacement was obtained with TBW, it is concluded that anchor fixation method may be an alternative with practicality and mechanical properties. However, further studies are needed to obtain more precise data.
