Surgical procedures and biomechanical testing were performed from June 14 through October 7, 2024. A transverse ulnar osteotomy was performed immediately proximal to the anconeal process and aligned perpendicularly to the caudal cortex. In group 1, the pin and tension band wiring technique was employed using 2 1.2-mm Kirschner wires and #2 FiberWire. Group 2 applied the screw TBW method using a partially threaded cannulated screw and #2 FiberWire. Group 3 used the screw TBW method but with a fully threaded headless cannulated screw and #2 FiberWire. Biomechanical testing was conducted to apply tensile forces using a universal testing machine.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sc_a3\">\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Maximum failure loads of groups 1 (n = 6), 2 (n = 6), and 3 (n = 6) were 351.3 \u00b1 22.2 N, 345.78 \u00b1 25.6 N, and 326.3 \u00b1 18.2 N, respectively.
