Application of Internal Fixation Using Improved Tension Band and Steel Wire in Patellar Fracture

Objective To study the curative effect of internal fixation using improved tension band and steel wire in patellar fracture. Methods With 2 Kirschner pin to fix fracture patella after anatomic reduction, the adding 2 pieces of steel wires to fasten Kirschner pin steadily. Postoperatively rehabilitation was applied earlier and all cases were followed up for 6～12 months. Results All the fractures were approached anatomic reduction and skeletal cure in 8 weeks. the fine and good rate of knee function was 92%. Conclusion The internal fixation using improved tension band and steel wire could treat patellar fracture reliably and clinical curative effect were excellent.
