Abstract | Introduction: Displaced patella fractures represent a clinical challenge. We evaluate the effectiveness of an alternative fixation construct to address common modes of fixation failure. Methods: A retrospective review of 49 patients who underwent fixation via the specific construct at a single institution between 2013 and 2019. Results: Median follow-up was 52.7 weeks (Mean: 75.4 weeks; SD: 54.9; range: 27-267.7 weeks). Construct failure rate was 6.1% (3/49). This included two mechanical hardware failures, one the result of trauma and the other due to noncompliance. Conclusions: The modified construct represents a safe and effective means of treating transverse patella fractures. Level of evidence: Level 4. |
