Abstract

To determine whether any of the commomly used wiring technique are rigid enough to allow early motion in treatment of patellar fracture. Twelve cases of extensively commivuted and displaced patellar fracture were treated using wire technique (circumferential combined tension band wiring) at N.P.H. from April 1987 to April 1989. This method has advatages of simple and rigid fixation and results were satisfactory.
