Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of Patella Fracture With Contoured Dorsal Plating.
Academic Article
Overview
abstract
In this article, we present a novel patella fixation technique using a low-profile highly contoured dorsal mini-fragment locking plate. This procedure is ideally indicated in patients with fracture patterns that are transverse without significant comminution. Long-term clinical studies are being performed to evaluate the effectiveness of this surgical technique.
