Chinese Journal of New Clinical Medicine(2013)
Abstract
Objective To investigate the effect of closed reduction and percutaneous screw fixation on the patella fractures by the knee arthroscopy.Methods Twenty-two cases of the patella fractures were treated with absorbable screw through closed reduction and percutaneous screw fixation by the knee arthroscopy.Their clinical data were further analyzed.Results All cases obtained bony union and good functional recovery.According to Xu Shaoting score,excellent effectiveness was found in 18 cases(81.8%) and good in 4 cases(18.2%).Conclusion The knee arthroscopic management of the patella fractures not only facilitated accurate reduction but also provied a chance to inspect other knee injuries and diseases.And the technique of closed reduction and percutaneous internal fixation can also make for early postoperative exercises and accelerate recovery.In addition,the second operation suffering may be avoided because of the absorbable screw being used for internal fixation.However,suitable patients should be considered for this therapeutic approach.
