The purpose of this study is to create an efficient, reproducible mechanism to mitigate this issue.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Ten matched pair cadaveric specimens underwent a complete transverse osteotomy to simulate an olecranon fracture, followed by fracture reduction with a PUP. One arm from each pair underwent an additional augmented suture repair, where the triceps tendon was sutured directly to the plate. A custom jig was used to hold the specimen in position and apply a tensile force on the triceps until mechanical failure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>All control specimens (without augmented suture repair) failed through a full-thickness triceps avulsion fracture at an average force of 967.7 N.
