“…Recent studies have described the use of plates for patella fractures with good results. [12][13][14][15]25 In our series, fracture patterns with an associated inferior pole fragment comprised the majority of the fractures. This fracture pattern merits special mention because these fractures also had a coronal split, disconnecting the anterior cortex from the articular surface.…”

“…Plate fixation of patella fractures allows for more rigid stabilization and earlier mobilization with potential for improved functional outcomes secondary to decreased stiffness and a decrease in symptomatic hardware, particularly in the case of comminuted fracture patterns. Case series of patellar plating have been published [12][13][14][15] and biomechanical studies have demonstrated equal or superior fixation strength with plates as compared with tension banding. 16,17 In this series, we examined patient-reported outcomes, range of motion (ROM), and complication rates in patients following plate fixation of patella fractures.…”

“…[10] Despite several technical modifications, management of operative patella fractures continues to be a challenge with poor functional outcomes and high reoperation rates. [1,[11][12][13][14] There are several key advantages to using anterior tension wiring with K-wires for treating comminuted patella fractures include the following. For example, tensile forces can be transformed into compression forces, thereby making it possible for the bone to withstand high tension loads and promote fracture healing.…”

“…While plate fixation of patella fractures has not been described for periprosthetic patella fractures, recent case series of native patella fractures treated with plate fixation have been published [8][9][10][11] . Taylor et al in 2014 reported on 8 patients treated with anterior patellar plating, with union achieved in all patients and no reoperations for hardware complications [8] .…”

“…Lorich et al reported on 9 patients treated with patellar mesh plating with mean KOS-ADLS score of 84, no cases of non-union and only one reoperation for symptomatic hardware [9] . Singer et al in 2017 reported on 9 patients treated with mesh plating with no cases of non-union or reoperation [10] . The only published study comparing patellar plating to tension band fixation found plating was associated with statistically higher KOS-ADLS scores and significantly lower incidence of anterior knee pain [11] .…”
