Abstract:
Forty-two patients with patella fracture were treated by nickel-titanium memory alloy patellar concentrator(NT-PC) in Department of Orthopedics,First People’s Hospital of Nanning from August 1994 to February 2004,and antibiotic was applied after operation.No infection or hypersensitive response was found in any case.Bone union occurred in all patients.No dislocation was found.Among 42 patients,37 cases were excellent,3 were good,and 2 were poor.Among 26 patients with comminuted fracture,25 were excellent,and 1 was good.The NT-PC is a good selection of medical implant for the treatment of patellar fracture,especially for comminuted fracture.
