Background
Patellar fractures have a comparatively low incidence compared to all fracture frequencies of the musculoskeletal system. However, surgical management is crucial to prevent postoperative complications that affect the knee joint. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the incidence of postoperative complications and onset of postoperative osteoarthritis related to the chosen technique of patellar fracture management.
Methods
In a retrospective cohort study consecutive managed, isolated patella fractures were reviewed for demographic data, trauma mechanism, patella fracture type, fixation technique and postoperative complications. The results were documented radiographically and clinically and analysed statistically. The reporting followed the STROBE guidelines.
Results
A total of 112 patients were eligible for data evaluation. Surgical management of comminuted patellar fractures with small fragment screws showed significant fewer postoperative complications compared to other fixation techniques (8%, p < 0.043). The incidence of posttraumatic infection was significantly higher following the hybrid fixation technique with cannulated screws and tension wire than following the other analysed techniques (p = 0.024). No postoperative wound infection was observed after screw fixation or locking plate fixation. Symptomatic hardware was most frequently seen after tension-band fixation. Onset of posttraumatic osteoarthritis was most often found after the hybrid fixation technique (55%).
Conclusion
Surgical management of patellar fractures remains crucial but fracture fixation using plating systems or small fragment screws is least associated with postoperative complications.
