Treatment of patella fractures

  The treatment of patellar fracture should maximize the smoothness of the joint surface, give stronger internal fixation, move the knee joint early, and prevent the occurrence of traumatic arthritis.  Non-surgical treatment Plaster brace or tube fixation is suitable for non-displaced patellar fracture without manipulation, blood accumulation in the joint is drawn out, bandaged, and the affected limb is fixed in the extension position for 3-4 weeks with a long-legged plaster brace or tube type. Practice quadriceps contraction during plaster fixation and knee extension and flexion after removal of the plaster brace.  2. Surgical treatment Patellar fracture more than 2 to 3 mm displacement, joint surface unevenness more than 2 mm, combined with fracture of the extensor support band tear, is best treated surgically.
