Suture Repair of Pole Patella Fracture

June 13, 2016
Purpose:
Operative fixation of displaced patella fractures is considered to be standard of care. However, ...
read more ↘ patients with inferior pole patella fractures have limited options in terms of fixation. This video demonstrates the repair of an inferior pole patella fracture using non-absorbable suture fixation.
Methods:
Suture repair of patella fractures is a clinically acceptable technique, yielding similar functional results to patella fractures treated with K-wires or cannulated screws while reducing the rates of removal of hardware following fixation.
Results:
This video features the repair of a displaced, comminuted inferior pole patella fracture using 5-Ethibond and Fiberwire. Post-operative radiographs confirm bony union.
Conclusions:
Suture fixation for pole patella fractures provides reliable fixation and reduces the risk of postoperative complications secondary to hardware irritation. This case highlights the success of this technique.
