Abstract
- Many complications after operative treatment of patella including redisplacement of fracture, refracture, weakness of extensor muscles, patellofemoral joint arthritis, metal failure, malunion, infection, avascular necrosis were reported. We report a case of transverse fracture of patella through the cannulated screw fixation site used to fix previous vertical patella fracture with a review of the literatures.
