Does protruding headless cannulated screw reduce fixation stability in tension band wiring technique for patella fractures? a biomechanical study.

Background: The selection of an implant is a critical factor in the surgical treatment of patella fractures due to the risk of various complications, such as non-union, implant failure, and irritation. The present study evaluated and compared the biomechanical strength of headless cannulated screws about screw length using the tension band wiring technique.

Methods: Forty-eight sawbone patellas with transverse fractures were divided into three fixation groups based on the screw length used in tension band wiring.

Comparison of the Latarjet Procedure and Iliac Crest Bone Graft Transfer in Bone Bankart Lesions in Recurrent Anterior Shoulder Dislocations.

Objective: There are various treatment modalities for bony Bankart lesions following glenohumeral joint dislocations. In this research, we aimed to compare the radiological and clinical results of patients who underwent the Latarjet procedure and iliac crest bone graft transfer.

Materials And Methods: Clinical and radiological data of 15 patients were retrospectively evaluated.
