  • Title: [Tension cerclage using scews--a forgotten technique?].
    Author: Bartonícek J, Jehlicka D, Stulík J.
    Journal: Acta Chir Orthop Traumatol Cech; 2001; 68(3):188-91. PubMed ID: 11706542.
    Abstract:
    Authors deal with the screw-wire technique described by Brunner and B. G. Weber in 1981. The principle of the technique consists in passing a wire loop around the heads of divergently driven screws. After tightening the screws the wire loop is put under tension which results in interfragmental compression. Mostly used for this purpose are 4.5 mm cortical screws but, if need be, any screw from a standard or small set of instruments is applicable. This type of fixation they use mainly for acetabulum fractures, diastasis of symphysis or for the stabilization of knee osteotomies.
