Tension band wiring for avulsion fracture of Olecranon in a Dog

Olecranon fractures get distracted by the pull of triceps muscle. Intramedullary pinning for repair of olecranon fractures involves complications of bending and even breakage of pin due to the excessive bending forces. Failure to treat the fracture by internal fixation generally leads to non union or fibrous union (Denny 1990).
