Post Operative analysis of Patella fracture corrected with Modified Tension Band Wiring

Dr. Palakolanu Anilkumar

Abstract :

A patella fracture is an injury to the kneecap. The kneecap is one of three bones that make up the knee joint. The patella is coated with cartilage on its undersurface and is important in providing the strength of extension of the knee joint. Patella fractures should be seen in the emergency room. X–rays will determine the type of fracture and the amount of displacement of the fracture. One of the critical factors in determining treatment is a thorough examination. The objective of the study is to clinically evaluate the modified tension band wiring technique for fracture of patella and to assess knee joint motion, stability and mode of injury after the procedure.
