Classification and treatment of patella fractures

Abstract: Patella fractures are rare and account for approximately 1% of all fractures. They are classified regarding their localization (proximal, distal) and appearance. The aim of any treatment is reconstruction of the extensor mechanism and joint surface. If dislocation and cartilage steps are less than 2 mm, conservative treatment may be indicated. Operative treatment is only necessary if a dislocation is more than 2 mm or when the extensor mechanism is unstable. Depending on the shape of the fracture, tension band… Show more

“…Current research on the incidence and location of preoperative DVT in fractures mainly focuses on the lower extremity, such as pelvic fractures, femoral fractures, and tibial fractures [3,8,9] or the entire lower extremity fracture [10][11][12]. Patella is an important structure in the process of knee extension, with an incidence rate in the population being 0.13‰ to 0.61‰ [13,14], accounting for 0.5% to 1.5% of the total incidence of adult fractures [15,16]. It has been reported in the literature that the incidence of perioperative DVT for patellar fractures is 0.3-9% [10][11][12].…”

“…Они встречаются более чем в половине случаев переломов надко-ленника. Затем следуют поперечные переломы, реже всего встречаются оскольчатые [4][5][6]. От-личительной особенностью таких переломов яв-ляется частое сочетание перелома с разрывом медиального и латерального сухожильных растя-жений четырехглавой мышцы бедра.…”

“…Поскольку надколенник играет решающую роль в механизме разгибания в коленном суставе, целью любого лечения являются восстановление геометрии суставной поверхности надколенника и стабильная фиксация фрагментов [5]. В про-тивном случае вероятность развития пателло-фе-морального артроза и, как следствие, нарушения функции коленного сустава существенно возрас-тает [1,3].…”
