Research Article: Can multiple miniplates improve the treatment of comminuted patellar fracture?

Date Published: 2023-12-02

Abstract:
We have applied primarily multiple locking compression miniplates in treating multifragmentary, comminuted patellar fracture in combination with conventional fixation methods.

Introduction:
The prevalence rate of patellar fracture is approximately 1% of all musculoskeletal trauma and multifragmentary fractures with comminution account for half of all patellar fractures [1]. Regarding the nature of intraarticular involvement in patellar fracture and the functional importance of the patella in the knee range of motion (ROM), a patellar fracture requires restoration of the extensor mechanism and accurate anatomic reduction of not only fracture fragments but also articular surface with a stable fixation…
