Cerelage and New Modified Tension Band Wiring for Fracture of Patella

Objective To explore the clinical results in the treatment of patella fracture by internal fixation with cerelage and new modified tension band wiring.Methods 102 cases were treated with cerelage and new modified tension band wiring based on the principles of biomechanics and type of fracture.Results The union occurred within 7 to 13 weeks with an average of 8.2 weeks postoperatively.Excellent function of the knee joint was regained in every case and no complication was observed.Conclusion The described fixation technique for patella fractures is a safe and practicable method,it combining cerelage with new modified tension band wiring.The fixation is solid and easy to operate,it can be suitable for various patella fractures.
