Patients were followed for a minimum of 6 months after surgery. Clinical characteristics, radiographic outcomes, postoperative complications, elbow function, and patient satisfaction were evaluated using radiographic assessment, Mayo Elbow Performance Score (MEPS), and Oxford Elbow Score (OES). Data were analyzed using SPSS 22.0, and associations between variables were assessed using the Chi-square test.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"results\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The mean patient age was 46.9 \u00b1 22.6 years, and traffic accidents were the most common cause of injury (56.1%). Most patients achieved complete radiographic reduction (92.7%) and favorable postoperative functional outcomes. Delayed union occurred in 2.4% of patients, while no cases of nonunion, osteomyelitis, myositis ossificans, or osteoarthritis were observed. Higher patient satisfaction was associated with better OES outcomes (p = 0.013). However, rehabilitation practice and MEPS-based elbow mobility were not clearly associated with postoperative OES classification.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"conclusion\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Tension band wiring provided favorable radiographic and functional outcomes with a low rate of major complications in selected olecranon fractures.
