Total patellectomy is indicated only for highly displaced, severely comminuted fractures in which no large fragments remain. The timing of the surgery depends somewhat on the integrity of the overlying skin, which is often abraded during the injury. If the abrasions are clean and the wound is ...
The patellar inferior pole fracture is typically comminuted. Hence, achieving firm fixation and early activity is highly challenging. In this article, we employed the method of wire cerclage through a generated bone hole to reduce the fracture. Our objec
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...
Seven months after surgery: 135° flexion, 0° extension at both knees. 3. Discussion To the authors’ best knowledge, this is the first recorded case of a bilateral rupture of the patellar tendon coupled with the MCL complete bilateral tear. The literature contains no descriptions of similar ...
Patellar fractureElderly patientsSurgery delayAlbuminHematocritPatellar fractures are a common knee injury among elderly patients, with a high risk of developing surgical site infections (SSI) postoperatively, which severely affects patient prognosis and quality of life. Elderly patients are more susceptible...
Medial patellar fractureOsteochondral fractureRedislocationThere has been no gold standard of the initial treatment strategy for acute patellar dislocation (APD) with osteochondral fracture (OCF). Hence the study aim is firstly, to review and compare clinical outcomes of patients who underwent ...
Up to 30% of patients with a tibial shaft fracture sustain iatrogenic rotational malalignment (RM) after infrapatellar (IP) nailing. Although IP nailing remains the management of choice for most patients, suprapatellar (SP) nailing has been gaining popularity. It is currently unknown whether SP ...
Young et al. (2005)recommended implementation of the 12-week protocol in the off-season if possible because of some of the patellar tendon pain associated with the eccentric-based program. • Bahr et al. (2006)in a level 1 study found no advantage to surgical treatment of jumper’s knee...
