Treatment of Patella Fractures
Orthopedics, 2018Patella fractures comprise 1% of all fractures. Treatment options vary based on fracture displacement, classification, and patient factors. Traditionally, nonoperative treatment has been reserved for nondisplaced fractures. Many operative treatments are available with differing indications and levels of success.

Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 1996
We retrospectively reviewed 57 open patella fractures treated at our institution between 1976 and 1989. Forty-four patients with 47 fractures (cases) were available for follow-up a mean of 9.4 years after injury (range 2.2-15.7). High-energy vehicular trauma was the cause of injury in > 90% of cases.

Fractures of the patella in children
Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, 1999AbstractFractures of the patella are relatively rare injuries for children. Fourteen patients with patellar fractures were reviewed. There were 12 boys and two girls with the age ranging between 9 and 15 years and an average of 11.4 years. Sleeve fractures were the most common type of patellar fractures observed (eight cases), followed by transverse ...

Stress fracture of the patella
The American Journal of Sports Medicine, 1989Stress fractures are rarely an indication for surgical treatment. In our case we decided to operate on the patient because of distraction of the fragments. Solid bony healing took longer than in traumatic fractures, but the good functional result confirmed our regimen.

Pycnodysostosis with a patella fracture
The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology, 2015A 33-year-old woman was admitted to hospital with an injured right knee. She had a history of fractures and been previously diagnosed with osteopetrosis. She was 136 cm tall with short digits, fl at and grooved nails, and all the facial characteristics of pycnodysostosis. Results of laboratory tests showed no evidence of anaemia. Radiography revealed a

Marginal fractures of the patella
Injury, 1982Several types of marginal fracture of the patella are described together with the methods of treatment. The relationship between bipartite patellas and marginal fractures is also discussed. The diagnosis of marginal fracture of the patella should always be considered in cases of traumatic haemarthrosis of the knee so that appropriate radiographic ...

Journal of Knee Surgery, 2013
Displaced patella fractures often result in disruption of the extensor mechanism of the knee. An intact extensor mechanism is a requirement for unassisted gait. Therefore, operative treatment of the displaced patella fracture is generally recommended.

1994
Fractures of the patella constitute approximately 1% of adult fractures seen acutely and are relatively rarer in children.1 Although the role of the patella in augmenting extensor force is now well understood, it was not always so. A little over 50 years ago, the patella was felt to be largely vestigial, and efforts to repair it futile.
