A rare case of an open transverse patella fracture in a 5-year-old child [PDF]
Trauma Case Reports, 2022 Patella fractures in children are rare accounting for 1 % of all paediatric fractures. Rarer still are transverse patella fractures in children with only 1 case previously described in the literature of a child less than the age of 6.

Fractures of the Patella [PDF]
Postgraduate Medical Journal, 1963 THIS paper records an attempt made in 1956 to evaluate the long-term results of repair and excision of the fractured patella in an area where displaced transverse fractures were repaired and displaced comminuted fractures were excised. It is not a common injury.

A comparison of EFECE systems with tension band wiring for patella fracture fixation in cadavers [PDF]
Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2020 Background EFECE systems are newly defined internal fixation systems, which are suitable for patella fracture fixation. The aim of this study was to compare the fixation strength of EFECE Systems with tension band wiring for transverse patellar fracture ...

Biomechanical comparison of two tension band wiring techniques for transverse patella fracture fixation: an in vitro study of 3-D printing models [PDF]
International BiomechanicsPatella fractures are relatively rare, though effective treatment of these fractures is essential. Screws and cerclage cable have been proposed to treat displaced patellar fractures to overcome the disadvantages of the modified tension band technique ...

Multiply Broken Metallic Hardware Removal for United Patella Fracture Applied Twenty Years Before: A Case Report [PDF]
Journal of Nepal Medical Association, 2020 Breakage of tension band wires, used to treat the patella fracture, is not uncommon several years after the fracture fixation. Broken wires may migrate to surrounding neurovascular structures, other vital organs like heart and may cause potentially fatal
