Evaluation of patella fractures managed by augmented cannulated cancellous screw fixation: A prospective study
International Journal of Orthopaedics Sciences · 2021 · Vol. 7(4) · pp. 331–334
Abstract
Patella is an important part of the extensor mechanism of the knee hence proper management of patellar fractures is necessary to prevent any complications. We conducted this study to evaluate cannulated cancellous screws as a modality of fixation for transverse fractures of patella. 63 patients of patella fracture were admitted, operated and followed who were managed by the above mentioned technique and based on our observation and results we recommend augmented cannulated cancellous screw as a better implant as compared to other contemporary implants for patella fracture fixation.
