Abstract
- Purpose To assess the clinical results of using mesh plate in management of displaced comminuted fracture patella. Patients and methods Between January 2014 and October 2015, nine patients with closed displaced comminuted fracture patella were fixed using mesh plate and 2 mm mini screws. Results All fractures united after an average of 10 weeks. At final follow-up of an average 19.6 months, average postoperative Lysholm score was 89.1 ± 4.9, and average Postoperative Bostman scale was 27.2 ± 3.1. No hardware related complications were recorded. Conclusion Low profile mesh plate is a good option in management of comminuted fracture patella with good clinical outcome. This new surgical technique may be particularly useful in comminuted fractures when patellectomy would otherwise be considered.
