In the fixation of patellar fractures, wiring techniques including tension band and cerclage wiring have been widely used. Some patients do not want to operation for removal of wire unless mechanical irritation is present. Authors report a case of a patient with migration of a broken wire to the popliteal fossa after the osteosynthesis of patellar fracture.

This study is aimed to evaluate advantages and disadvantages of patella fracture fixation technique with figure-of-eight tension band, then draw indications and contra-indications of this technique. Subjects: 80 patients with occult patella fracture treated at Traumatic-Orthopedic Department, Hospital No 103 from January 1980 to July 1996. Postoperative outcomes: very good: 56 cases (76.87%), good: 7 cases (9.85%), fair: 6 cases (8.45%), and bad: 2 cases (2.80%)

Nail-Patella Syndrome*

We have experienced 40 cases of the tibial shaft fractures treated with Küntscher nail from 1979 to 1986. Authors analysed these cases and our own experimental study concerned with the shape of Küntscher nail. The shape of Küntscher nail for the tibial shaft fractures should be designed according to the type and location of the fracture. The proximally bent and distally straight nail is used for the extension fracture, proximally and distally bent nail or entirely bent nail is inserted for the flexion fracture of the tibia. The large nail(over 13 mm in diameter) may produce injury to the patella because it has minimal flexibility. In order to permit easy driven down of nail and prevent this injury, the nail should b. bent into three to four segments and the length of the longest segment should not exceed the permissible length of straight nail (Permissible length is distance from entrance of nail to posterior cortex of the upper fragment, where tip of the (nail impinged-about 12cm) The midpoint of the middle segment of dual dent nail is placed at the fracture site. The middle segment of the nail may bent anteriorly for flexion fracture and posteriorly for extension fracture, securing the dynamic fixation of the fracture.
