Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To review research progress of surgical treatment of patellar fractures. METHODS: The domestic and foreign literature about patellar fracture treatment in recent years was extensively consulted, and the advantages, disadvantages, and indications of various surgical treatments were summarized. RESULTS: The patella plays an important role in knee flexion and extension activities, and the fracture significantly affects the patient's quality of life. At present, the surgical methods include open reduction and internal fixation and patella resection. The internal fixation methods include ring/binding patella fixation, tension band wiring and improved technology, tension band wiring combined with other methods, screw fixation (including absorbable screws), steel plate fixation, and patella fixator fixation. Each surgical method has different indications, advantages, and disadvantages. Choosing an appropriate treatment plan plays a crucial role in clinical prognosis. CONCLUSION: There are many surgical treatments for patellar fractures. In order to improve the effectiveness and reduce postoperative complications, it is necessary to choose the most appropriate treatment strategy for the type of fracture.
