Surgery of patellar fractures using a medial parapatellar approach
Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery, 2017 Purpose: The general surgical approach for patellar fractures has a significant weakness, in that the articular facet is invisible because the fixation is performed using radiation amplifiers after exposing the fracture site through vertical or ...

Comparing all-suture repair versus tension band wiring fixation in patellar fractures [PDF]
BMC Musculoskeletal DisordersIntroduction Implant-related issues necessitating removal are well reported in tension band wiring (TBW) of patellar fractures. Suture materials can minimize complications associated with TBW fixation but there is a paucity of literature on all-suture ...

Dual tension band technique for patellar fractures involving articular surface and inferior pole: a retrospective cohort study and finite element analysis [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioengineering and BiotechnologyBackgroundFractures involving the inferior pole of the patella can lead to postoperative patella baja. For comminuted patellar fractures that affect both the articular surface and the inferior pole, we aim to explore a new fixation method that provides ...
