Abstract: Objective To discuss the effect of operations for comminuted patella fractures with cable cerclage and revised tension band. Method Retrospective study of clinical effects of 120 patella fractures cases which used cable(cable group,55 cases) or NT-PC (NT-PC group,65 cases) to internal fix.Results At 10 to 38 ( 19.50 ± 1.15 ) months follow-up, all cured well in 12 weeks. Compared with the operative time, the amount of blood loss, length of hospitalization, time for cure, the incidence of complications,there were no significant differences between two groups (P ＞ 0.05 ). The B (o)stman score of cable group [(27.0 ±0.2) scores] was better than that of NT-PC group [(25.1 ±0.6) scores](P＜0.05). Conclusion Using cable cerclage and revised tension band to internal fix for comminuted patella fractures,the operations are facile and the results are satisfactory.
