Tension band wiring (TBW) or plating may be used for fixation with similar clinical outcomes for adults with displaced Mayo 2A olecranon fractures. The primary hypothesis is that total direct costs (TDCs) for surgery are lower for TBW than plating. Our secondary hypothesis is that combined surgical TDCs are lower for TBW even with a 100% rate of subsequent tension band hardware removal and a 0% rate of plate removal.
