The use of tension band wire technique for patella fractures fixation is a well-established technique. However, the standard technique, which involves using two Kirschner wires through the patella, can cause problems with prominent hardware, and difficulty capturing the change to figure of eight wire. Here we describe a modified technique using four Kirschner wires, which allows each wire to be bent, and well-impacted in order to avoid these problems. The basic surgical technique, and our case series are reviewed.

Background: The aim of study was to biomechanically compare the fixation of Jones fracture using headless cannulated screw, tension band, and two Kirschner wires.
Methods: A total of 60 fourth-generation, fifth metatarsal synthetic bone models were divided into three groups according to the fixation techniques. A vertical load, oriented from plantar to dorsal and lateral to medial, was applied to the metatarsal specimen that were potted with molding material.
The gastrointestinal epithelium serves as a critical barrier separating intestinal lumen contents from the underlying tissue environment. Structure and function of the apical junctional complex (AJC), comprising tight and adherens junctions, are essential for establishing and maintaining a polarized and functional epithelial barrier. In this study, we investigated mechanisms by which an apical polarity protein Crumbs homolog 3 (CRB3) regulates AJC assembly and barrier function in primary murine intestinal epithelial cells.

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of lateral closing wedge osteotomy with tension-band wire fixation for correcting cubitus varus deformity in pediatric patients. The primary objective was to assess the bone union rate, functional outcomes, and potential complications associated with this surgical approach.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of 104 pediatric cases (ages 7-15) with post-traumatic cubitus varus deformity treated between January 2018 and December 2019 at the Pediatric Orthopedic Department.

Objective: To analyze the effectiveness of three internal fixation methods, namely hollow screw combined with Kirschner wire tension band, hollow screw combined with anchor nail, and modified 1/3 tubular steel plate, in the treatment of avulsion fracture of tibial tubercle (AFTT) in adolescents.
Methods: Between January 2018 and September 2023, 19 adolescent AFTT patients who met the selection criteria were admitted. According to different internal fixation methods, patients were divided into group A (8 cases, hollow screw combined with Kirschner wire tension band), group B (6 cases, hollow screw combined with anchor nail), and group C (5 cases, modified 1/3 tubular steel plate).

Objective: To explore the feasibility and effectiveness of suture anchor double-pulley technique combined with suture three-dimensional binding via bone tunnel technique for avulsion fractures of the inferior pole of the patella.
Methods: A clinical data of 38 patients with avulsion fractures of the inferior pole of the patella, who met the selective criteria and were admitted between September 2021 and April 2023, was retrospectively analyzed. The fractures were treated with suture anchor double-pulley technique combined with suture three-dimensional binding via bone tunnel technique in 18 cases (group A) and steel wire tension-band fixation in 20 cases (group B).
