Abstract:
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Treatment of patella fractures has always been difficult; especially in older patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the XS nail in the treatment of patella fractures. MATERIAL AND METHODS 49 fractures could be registered and reevaluated with a standardized questionnaire. RESULTS Mean follow-up time was 38.67 months, mean age 71.48 years. The mean OKS was 16.26 points, the Kujala Score was 81.56 points. No wound healing or revision could be detected. CONCLUSIONS The XS nail is a good treatment option with a low risk of complications also for the age-related trauma patient and for more complex patella fractures. Key words: patella, patella fracture, XS nail, locking nail, intramedullary nail, nail osteosynthesis.
