Patellectomy with vastus medialis obliquus advancement for comminuted patellar fractures: a prospective randomised trial.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have compared the results of simple patellectomy (group A, n = 16) and patellectomy with advancement of the vastus medialis obliquus (group B, n = 12) in a prospective, randomised trial, with a minimum follow-up of three years. The results in group B were significantly better (p < 0.001) than those in group A. Although the patella should be preserved if possible, we advocate advancement of the vastus medialis obliquus when patellectomy is necessary.

Treatment of Comminuted Fracture of Inferior Pole of Patella Using Partial Patellectomy And Patellar Tendon Repair Using Transosseous Sutures
Background: The incidence of inferior pole fractures of patella is around 5% and the various treatment options include tension band wiring, circumferential wiring, or use of screw 1 . The traditional recommendation for severly comminuted inferior pole fractures is excision of the comminuted pole followed by reattachment of the patellar tendon with transosseous suture to the superior fragment 2 ...

INTRODUCTION Patellar tendon ossification is a rare pathology that may be seen as a complication after sleeve fractures of the tibial tuberosity, total patellectomy during arthroplasty, intramedullary nailing of tibial fractures, anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with patellar tendon autograft and knee injury without fracture. However, its occurrence after partial patellectomy surgery h...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the effect of patellar taping on the amplitude of electromyographic activity (EMG) of vasti activation in subjects with and without patellofemoral pain (PFP). METHODS Ten participants with PFP and 12 asymptomatic controls were recruited to the study. The study was designed as a randomised crossover trial. Participants completed a stair stepping task. Three experiment...
متن کاملSonographic imaging of the patellofemoral medial joint stabilizing structures: findings in human cadavers.
The medial soft-tissue restraints of the patella, specifically the medial patellofemoral ligament and the vastus medialis obliquus muscle, are critical to patellofemoral joint stability. A reliable and inexpensive imaging technique would be clinically useful especially after acute patellar dislocation. The medial patellofemoral ligament and the vastus medialis obliquus muscle were identified in...
متن کاملPatellar instability.
Recurrent patellar instability can result from osseous abnormalities, such as patella alta, a distance of >20 mm between the tibial tubercle and the trochlear groove, and trochlear dysplasia, or it can result from soft-tissue abnormalities, such as a torn medial patellofemoral ligament or a weakened vastus medialis obliquus. Nonoperative treatment includes physical therapy, focusing on strength...
