A Prospective Study

Patella fractures accounts for 1% of all skeletal injuries.  Patella fractures usually need to be treated with accurate reduction and fixation to obtain optimal knee function. Improper reduction of the articular fragments leads to complications like arthritis and quadriceps dysfunction. Tension band wiring and pasting are commonly performed fixation methods. Tension band wiring with K-wires is associated with wire prominence and soft tissue irritation. Cannulated cancellous screw fixation of the fracture and tension band wiring through the cannulated screws avoid the complication of wire migration and breakage.   In our study, we fixed these fractures with cannulated cancellous screws and tension band. This is a prospective study done in SRMC from 2012-2017. A total of 17 Patients with transverse patella fracture are taken into a study, 4mm cannulated cancellous screws with 18 mm stainless steel wire is used for anterior tension band wiring. Extensor retinaculum closure is done for all these patients. All patients had excellent knee function, according to KSS. There was no case of implant prominence or soft issue irritation in any of these patients. One patient had extensor lag. Cannulated cancellous screw with anterior tension band wiring is a reliable, effective and reproducible technique in treating transverse patella fractures.

Abstract Background: EFECE Systems are newly-defined internal fixation systems, which are suitable for patella fracture fixation. The aim of this study was to compare the fixation strength of EFECE Systems with tension band wiring for transverse patellar fracture simulation on fresh frozen cadaver models. Methods: Quadriceps tendon-patella-patellar tendon (QT-P-PT) complex was prepared from human cadavers. After simulation of a transverse patella fracture, in Group 1, 5 patella were fixed with a pair of 1.2 mm EFECE wires and 4 EFECE devices. In Group 2, 5 patella were fixed with a pair of 1.2 mm Kirschner wires (K-wire) and a cerclage wire according to the tension band technique.Using a testing device with custom-made jaws, increasing distraction force was applied to these QT-P-PT complexes. Extension of these complexes with the distraction forces was observed. The maximum distraction force and the elongation during maximum force were evaluated. Results: After 5 experiments with the EFECE Systems, there was no EFECE wire breakage or EFECE wire-EFECE device catching failure. The median maximum force was 740 N (720-810N). During maximum distraction force the median extension was 2.5 mm (1.6-2.5 mm).After 5 experiments with the tension band technique, there was no K-wire breakage. The median maximum force was 330 N (240-510N). During this maximum distraction force the median extension was 3.4 mm (2.2-3.8 mm).Conclusions: Based on the biomechanical advantages, patella fracture treatment with EFECE systems may constitute a reasonable alternative in the treatment of patella fractures.
