The purpose of this study was to determine if a tension band constructed of FiberWire (Arthrex, Naples, FL), a high\u2010strength polyester and polyethylene suture, will provide fixation that is equivalent to an 18\u2010gauge metal wire tension band.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The following 4 fixation methods were biomechanically tested in cadaveric elbows with a simulated transverse olecranon fracture: (1) Kirschner wires (K\u2010wires) with an 18\u2010gauge metal wire tension band, (2) K\u2010wires with a FiberWire tension band, (3) intramedullary screw with an 18\u2010gauge metal wire tension band, and (4) intramedullary screw with a FiberWire tension band. Each elbow underwent all 4 repair methods. The K\u2010wire repairs were performed first followed by the intramedullary screw repairs. The order of the tension band (FiberWire or metal wire) was randomly assigned. Specimens were tested under cyclic loading conditions that simulated stresses generated by (1) active range of motion and (2) pushing up from a chair. Fracture displacement was recorded by using transducers placed at the articular surface of the fracture and on the posterior surface of the olecranon.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There were no significant differences in fracture displacement associated with the use of a high\u2010strength suture or metal wire tension band under conditions simulating active range of motion or a more vigorous physiologic stress. Also, there were no significant differences associated with the use of an intramedullary screw versus K\u2010wire fixation under either condition.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The biomechanical characteristics of high\u2010strength suture tension bands are equivalent to 18\u2010gauge metal wire tension bands when used with either an intramedullary screw or K\u2010wires. The fatigue patterns of high\u2010strength suture tension bands and metal wire tension bands are similar.
