Abstract
- Inferior pole fractures of the patella are a type of patellar fracture that has various complexities. Most current techniques are associated with hardware-related complications, which is one of the main concerns when treating this complex fracture. We present a new technique that does not require metal implant removal, causes little to no irritation of the quadriceps muscle, and provides strong fixation that allows for early range of motion postoperatively.
