Fracture of the patella occurs frequently due to its superficial localization under the skin. Clinical examination and standard plain radiographs are sufficient for diagnosis in most of the cases. Non-operative treatment is limited to simple non-displaced stable fractures. The majority of fractures are...
Historically, a TTO with distalization has been the preferred method for normalizing the patella-trochlea relationship; however, complications such as delayed union, nonunion, fracture, arthrofibrosis, and symptomatic implants requiring additional surgery have been reported.6–8 Given the innate loss of...
Regardless of treatment protocol, numerous authors have shown minimal long term sequela and comparable final outcomes whether a fracture is present or not. We review the anatomy of the extensor mechanism, the surgical technique of properly harvesting the bone-patella tendon-bone autograft, and ...

However, all five patients with large OCF involving the central ridge of the patella failed non-operative treatment with recurrent dislocations, ultimately requiring fragment refixation and medial retinacular imbrication.First, APD patients with OCFs of medial margin or inferomedial facet showed ...
