“…For the development of osteoarthritic changes, the results of our series are comparable to those of Saltzman et al (1990) in which, nevertheless, the early mobilization was not introduced. It would seem that early mobilization does not play a role in producing osteoarthritic changes.…”

“…The reduction of muscle strength in total patellectomy reaches 50% (Watkins, Harris, Wender, Zarins & Rowe, 1983), whereas only 15% in partial patellectomy (Saltzman, Goulet, McClellan, Schneider & Matthews, 1990).…”

“…There were no postoperative infections.. The outcome of the procedure was assessed with use of the Saltzman patellofemoral scoring system 5 . evaluation involved the completion of a questionnaire (maximum score, 45 points), a clinical evaluation (maximum score, 43 points), and a radiographic analysis (maximum score, 12 points).…”
“…[12] Saltzman et al advocated for partial patellectomy by excision of loose fragments and reattachment of patellar tendon with transosseus sutures in comminuted lower pole fractures. [13] In International Journal of Medical Science and Public Healthpartial patellectomy, the large proximal fragment with whole of articular cartilage is preserved without disturbing much of extensor mechanism in comparison to total patellectomy. [1] In the present study, we used the traditional method to treat the extraarticular comminuted inferior pole fractures with partial patellectomy with patellar tendon repair using transosseus sutures without risking for the loss of fixation with the use of hardware.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
