[Comparative study on the effectiveness of improved and traditional Kirschner wire tension band fixation in treatment of type C patellar fractures].

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effectiveness of improved and traditional Kirschner wire tension band fixation in treatment of type C patellar fractures. METHODS: >0.05). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, the visual analogue scale (VAS) scores at 1 and 3 days after operation, the fracture healing time, and the occurrence of complications (skin irritation of Kirschner wires, failure of internal fixation, fracture reduction loss) were recorded, and the knee function was evaluated by Lysholm scoring standard in 2 groups. RESULTS: =0.010). CONCLUSION: Compared with the traditional Kirschner wire tension band fixation, the improved Kirschner wire tension band fixation in treatment of type C patellar fracture can shorten the operation time, reduce the incidence of complications, and benefit the functional recovery of knee joint.
