Abstract:
183 Background More clinical Sdoctors tend to choose minimally invasive treatments for patella fracture. Because patients have lower complications, better function and perfect incision, which makes them early continue working and influences a little on their careers and life. Objective To explore the efficacy of minimally invasive treatment of patella transverse of young people, we choose percutaneous cannulated screw and titanium cable that we design to operate surgery.we observe the surgical incision, hemorrhage and function Methods From February 2009 to June 2012, we applied the minimally invasive technique of percutaneous cannulated screw and titanium cable to treat 30 cases of patella transverse, 16 males and 14 females. Aged 24-45 years, mean 35.4 years.injury mechanism:10 cases in the traffic accident, 6 cases in the fall s injury, 14 cases in the kneeling injury. fracture type:6 cases proximal pole fracture, 11 cases middle pole fracture and 13 cases distal pole fracture. Result All patients healed incision. 30 cases were followed up for mean 18 months. Fracture healed in mean 6.8 weeks. According to Lysholom function score, excellent in 27 cases, good in 2 cases, good rate of 100%. Conclusion Minimally invasive technique of percutaneous cannulated screw and titanium cable to treat the patella transverse fracture is the better choice. It fixes reliable, follow the biomechanical and have low surgical damage. Patients have less complication and get a good clinical efficacy. It is a better choice to treat patella transverse fracture of young fracture.
