“…Wide excision was possible and the functional results were good in 87%. This is comparable to the reported results of patellectomy for trauma [18,23] and for patellar tumours [1,2,7,8,9,13,14,16,19]. Amputation should be reserved for malignant tumours invading soft tissues (stage II B) and for…”

“…TBW due to early mobilization principle has better range of motion outcome than Encirclage. [8][9][10][11][12] Five patients (TBW:Encirclage-1:4) had extensor lag, whereas it was seen in 20% of cases in the another study. 13,14 Herein, normal quadriceps power was observed with 82.3% of patients and 17.7% had grade-IV power of quadriceps in cases treated with TBW and encirclage (2:5) cases.…”

Background: The functional and radiological outcome of the union of transverse fractures of patella treated by tension band wiring (TBW) and encirclage wiring were compared according to WEST’s criteria.Methods: During three years, 44 patients with displaced transverse fracture patella were treated randomly either by TBW or encirclage with twenty-two patients in each group. Two patients in each group were lost to follow-up.Results: Results were compared based on the period of union, post-operative complications, early mobilization and recovery to pre-injury level. Fractures united at an average of 13.6 weeks with 8-12 and 10-14 weeks in TBW and the encirclage group, respectively. Results were excellent in 65%, good in 25% and poor in 10% cases in TBW group, as compared to the encirclage group with excellent in 50%, good in 30% and poor in 20% cases. In TBW group, 75% cases had a full range of motion (ROM), 15% had >120° of flexion and 10% had flexion between 90° and 120°, as compared to 50% full ROM, 30% >120° of flexion and 20% between 90° and120° flexion in the encirclage group. A case of migration of pin and another case of limitation of flexion by 25° were noticed.Conclusions: Patients treated with TBW had better results than the encirclage in the management of transverse fractures of the patella.

“…A high positioned or absent patella reduces the power applied by knee extensor muscles [16,17,19] and causes abnormal stress concentrations on the insertion of the patellar tendon [9,14] and abnormal contact force of the patellofemoral joint [28]. Furthermore, abnormally positioned patellae are associated with various pathologic conditions such as Osgood-Schlatter disease [2,31], patellar instability [8], disorder of the knee extensor mechanism in immature athletes [13], and cerebral palsy [30].…”

Patellar height is associated with various clinical syndromes. We asked which of three methods was the most appropriate for measuring patellar height for different age groups in terms of applicability, validity, and reliability. We evaluated 108 children and adolescents with available MR images and lateral knee radiographs using Insall-Salvati (IS), Blackburne-Peel, and Koshino-Sugimoto (KS) methods. Subjects were divided equally into three age groups (A, 5-10.9 years; B, 11-12.9 years; C, 13-18 years). The applicabilities of the three methods were evaluated using bony landmarks identified on lateral radiographs. For validation testing, standardized patellar tendon lengths determined by MRI were used as reference standards, and concurrent validity was analyzed by performing correlation tests. Intraobserver and interobserver reliability were determined using intraclass correlation coefficients. Of the three methods used to measure patellar height in this study, the IS appeared to be the most reliable and valid in patients older than 13 years with nearly complete ossification. Before this stage of ossification had been achieved, the KS was the only applicable and most reliable but less valid method in younger children. Level of Evidence: Level I, diagnostic study. See Guidelines for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
