Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of Patella Fracture With Contoured Dorsal Plating

J Orthop Trauma. 2021 Aug 1;35(Suppl 2):S34-S35. doi: 10.1097/BOT.0000000000002171.

Abstract

In this article, we present a novel patella fixation technique using a low-profile highly contoured dorsal mini-fragment locking plate. This procedure is ideally indicated in patients with fracture patterns that are transverse without significant comminution. Long-term clinical studies are being performed to evaluate the effectiveness of this surgical technique.
