Patella fractures can be caused by excessive tension through the extensor mechanism or a
direct impact. Non-displaced fractures with an intact extensor mechanism can be treated …

Patella fractures comprise 1% of all fractures. Treatment options vary based on fracture
displacement, classification, and patient factors. Traditionally, nonoperative treatment has …

Background: Displaced patellar fractures are commonly stabilized with a modified anterior
tension-band construct. The goal of the current study was to compare the incidence of …

The literature lacks large-scale, up-to-date, population-based epidemiology studies on the
incidence of patellar fractures based on complete populations. The purpose of this study …

BACKGROUND The subcutaneous location of the patella and the demand for early knee
motion contribute to the difficulty in treating patients with patella fractures. The reported rates …

Background. The main aim of this study was to develop a nomogram prediction model for
poor functional prognosis after patellar fracture surgery in the elderly based on the hospital …

Operative treatment of displaced patella fractures with tension band fixation remains the
gold standard, but is associated with a significant rate of complications and symptomatic …

Introduction Comminuted patella fractures are uncommon and difficult fractures to manage.
Multiple treatment modalities have been suggested, with little clinical data to support …

Displaced fractures of patella often require open reduction surgery and internal fixation to
restore the extensor continuity and articular congruity. Fracture fixation with biodegradable …
