 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 10 Patellar with absorbable suture treatment of comminuted patella fracture Of: Tan red slightly, Zhaojin Kun, Qian Chen, Shiyan, Zhou Qi, Zhang Liangliang [Abstract] Objective To investigate the nickel-titanium patella with absorbable suture fixation of the clinical efficacy of patellar fracture. Methods March 2003 to September 2007, the use of nickel-titanium patella fixed with absorbable suture Treatment of 68 cases of patellar fracture, 45 males and 23 females, aged 19 to 66 years, average 36.5 years old. traffic accident in 20 cases, 14 cases of fall injury, a fall of 34 cases. There were comminuted fractures, One block of three small bones in 28 cases, four in 25 cases, five or more in 15 cases. combined with other fractures in 15 cases. knee function during follow-up evaluation of patients and complications. Results 8 to 24 months (mean 15 months) follow-up, all fractures healed. There was no loosening of internal fixation, the occurrence of knee joint synovitis in 4 cases. by Lysholm amp; Gillquist knee score, excellent in 44 cases, good in 20 cases, 4 cases, good rate of 94%. Conclusions combination of nickel titanium patella absorbable suture fixation of patella fracture reduction up to satisfactory, reliable fixation, the patient can be early functional exercise is an ideal surgical method.
