Fractures of the patella. [PDF]
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.

Patellar fractures usually occur from distraction and three-point bending of the patella as well as from direct blows. Surgical treatment is necessary for fractures that are displaced more than 2 mm and may include open reduction and internal fixation, partial patellectomy, or rarely, total patellectomy.
