Abstract
Fractures of the coronoid process, which is a key element in anterior elbow joint stability, represent 14% of proximal ulnar fractures. Optimal treatment should stabilize all fractures associated with elbow instability. Different techniques have been described: suture repair, screws, plates… We propose a series of 5 patients who were treated with an original, easy, tension band wiring fixation technique using steel wire with easy hardware removal.
