Open vertical sagittal fracture patella with fracture lateral condyle femur: approach to a rare injury

Patellar fracture is a relatively uncommon fracture especially the vertical sagittal type. In cases of high energy trauma injury, it is usually associated with fracture of ipsilateral distal femur or proximal tibia.

OPEN PATELLA PERIPROSTHETIC FRACTURE AFTER TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT: A CASE REPORT AND REVIEW OF LITERATURES

Novel Anterior Plating Technique for Patella Fracture Fixation.

Plate fixation of patella fractures is a method that allows for more rigid stabilization and earlier mobilization. At the authors' level 1 trauma center, one fellowship-tra...

Percutaneous Tension-Band Suture Technique for Distal Patella Fracture Fixation

MOJ Orthop Rheumatol 2017, 8(3): 00315 reported rates up to 60 % [3,8,9]. For this reason, some have advocated the use of nonabsorbable sutures such as braided polyester, lowering the rate of revision surgery secondary to symptomatic hardware [3,10-14].
