By reflecting upwards the flap thus formed, the patella was completely exposed, and was found broken into five pieces.

Patellar Fractures: An Innovative Surgical Technique With Transosseous Suture to Avoid Implant Removal.

PURPOSE To describe a new surgical procedure and its outcomes: osteosynthesis with high-resistance sutures, avoiding metallic implants. Open sky osteosynthesis with Kirschner and cerclage wiring is the current gold standard for patella fractures. Favorable functional outcomes have been observed, although implant removal is required in many cases due to the prominent wires under the skin. New im...
