Abstract

Background: Patella fractures account for approximately 1% of all skeletal injuries. The treatment of patellar fractures has undergone many changes in operative methods. But still the Modified Tension Band Wiring Technique is well practicing. This study is directed towards the clinical evaluation of Modified Tension Band Wiring Technique for treatment of fracture patella.

Methods: This study was design to evaluate the above title from January 2012 to December, 2016 in different Medical Center of Kishoreganj, Bangladesh. 38 patients were included in this study in where age of the patient was ranging from 18 to 50 years. Operative procedure was done according to AO principle of operation. In this study Modified Tension Band Wiring Technique in fracture patella was performed. Patients were follow up for 6 to 10 month and evaluate clinically, radiologically and functionally.

Result: Subjective complaints and objective deficiency were recorded accordingly with other necessary parameter for evaluation of study. The result was graded with the criteria of 26 patients healed within 4 months of operation with excellent result, 10 patients showed good result. 2 patients with infection that controlled with judicious use of antibiotic. 2 patients showed poor outcome which left for further procedure [1].

Conclusion: The current study suggested that treatment of fracture patella with Modified Tension Band Wiring Technique is still a gold standard for this orthopedic condition.
