Summary

This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of patella anatomical locking plate fixation versus tension band wiring in the treatment of patellar fractures.

Conditions

  • Patella Fracture

Interventions

DEVICE

Patella Anatomical Locking Plate

Patients in the patella anatomical locking plate group will undergo internal fixation with an anterior locking plate and screw construct using the 2.7mm variable angle (VA) locking patella plating system (DePuy Synthes, Zuchwil, Switzerland)

DEVICE

Tension Band Wiring

Patients in the tension band wiring group will undergo open anatomical reduction and internal fixation with a tension band wire construct.
