 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 3 Emergency longitudinal patellar fracture analysis of 12 cases of misdiagnosis [Abstract] Objective To investigate the longitudinal patellar fracture injury mechanisms, clinical features, causes of misdiagnosis and improve emergency department physicians longitudinal patellar fracture awareness and propose preventive measures. Methods 12 cases of patellar longitudinal fractures were analyzed retrospectively. The results of misdiagnosis by a variety of causes, treatment with conservative therapy. Conclusion longitudinal patellar fracture of lack of knowledge, no shooting patella axial X-ray film is the main reason leading to misdiagnosis and thus enhance the understanding of longitudinal fracture of patella, shooting patella axial X-ray film is an effective measure to prevent misdiagnosis. [Keywords:] emergency longitudinal fracture of the patella to prevent misdiagnosis [Abstract] Objective To discuss the injury mechanism, the clinical characteristic and the cause of misdiagnosis of longitudinal fracture of patella, to improve the ER doctor’s recognition to the longitudinal fracture of patella and to propose the preventive measure. Methods Twelve patients with longitudinal fracture of patella were analyzed retrospectively.Results The causes of misdiagnosis were various. The mainly treatment was conservation. Conclusion The lack of recognition of the disease and the missing of axial view of X-ray of patella were the major misdiagnosis causes. Improving the recognition to the disease and taking axial view of X-ray of patella are the effective measures to prevent misdiagnosis.
