 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 12 Hollow screw with a tension band fixation of transverse patella fractures Abstract: [Objective] To investigate the hollow lag screw tension band wire fixation for the treatment of patellar fracture strengths and weaknesses, surgical indication. [Method] analyzed retrospectively 41 cases of the past four years in patients with patellar fractures, of which 10 cases of transverse patella fractures treated with AO cannulated screw + tension band wire fixation. [Results] June ~ 3a follow-up of 10 patients were healed fractures, including: excellent in 7 cases, good in 2 cases, 1 case. [Conclusion] The hollow lag screw tension band wire fixation for the treatment of patellar fractures, reliable, fixed solid; its cost less than the nickel-titanium shape memory alloy patellar, but higher than the K-wire tension-band wire; a fixed intensity of the strongest of all methods However, two hollow screws to eat bone mass, it is not suitable for severely comminuted fracture of patella, the best surgical indication for transverse patella fractures. Keywords:: patella fracture; internal fixation; hollow lag screw tension band wire Tension-band wire fixation is currently the mainstream method of patellar fracture fixation, its curative effect for a long time in the patellar fracture fixation has been widely used in recent years, was reported patellar using shape memory alloy, hollow lag screw tension band wire, joint mirror-assisted closed percutaneous screw fixation, X-line under the surveillance of closed reduction and pinning with external fixation, absorbable fixation materials and other methods of patellar fracture fixation [1]. A variety of patellar fracture fixation methods have advantages and disadvantages, each with its different indications. In order to improve efficacy, patients should be based on different situations in various ways. Hospital study of the hollow lag screw tension band wire fixation of patellar fracture char
