Abstract
- The authors report a clinical experience of 25 patients having patellar fracture who were treated with tension band wiring or modified tension band wiring from January 1984 to December 1988, at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Cho-Sun University Hospital. The results were as follows. 1. Out of 25 cases were treated by modified tension band wiring and remaining 5 cases were treated by tension band wiring. 2. The mean fracture healing period was 5.8 weeks in cases of modified tension band wiring and 6.8 weeks in tension band wiring. 3. Fixation by tesion band priciple has given acceptable results in comminuted fractures and transverse fractures both.
