Functional and radiological outcomes following plating for displaced fractures of

patella

Introduction

: Patellar fractures account for .5% to 1.5 % of all skeletal injuries. Operative treatment of displaced patellar

fractures with TBW (Tension Band wiring) has been the standard treatment for a long time, but it is associated with high

complication rates. The Patellar-plating construct is a newer operative-method for patellar fracture fixation which offers adequate

stabilization of multi-fragmentary fractures.

Methods

: We conducted a pilot-prospective study at an Apex-Trauma Centre.20 patients aged 18-65years with displaced patellar

fracture AO type A2, A3, B2, B3, C1, C2, C3 less than 2-week-old were fixed with low-profile patellar plate. Follow-up was done

by BKS (Bostman-Knee-Scale), X-rays and NCCT (Non-contrast Computed Tomography) scan of knee.

Result

: Mean BKS score at 6weeks,3month and 6month was 26,28 and 29 respectively. Radiological union was observed in 90%

patients at 3months. 2 patients had Surgical Site Infection (SSI) at 2weeks.Hardware impingement was found in 15%patients by

3months. None of the patients had failure of fixation at the end of the study.

Conclusion

: Patients with plate-constructs have favorable clinical and radiological outcomes throughout the study with minimal

complications.
