Hello......tension band wiring is done for fractured patella if fragments of bone are intact.....pain ,scar, stiffness are common complication of tension band wiring....i t is important to discuss with the staff and ask for pain killers if needed. Keeping the leg up (elevated) on a frame or even a footstool will reduce the pain and swelling.
