Objective:
To improve postoperative outcomes in patients with closed patellar fractures using a new method of surgical treatment.
Material And Methods:
The authors proposed a new method of patellar osteosynthesis. Technique of osteosynthesis is described, and surgical scheme is presented. Treatment outcomes were analyzed in 68 patients with closed patellar fractures. The control group consisted of 34 patients who underwent Weber osteosynthesis. The authors assessed clinical and radiological data. Moreover, clinical example of a patient with traumatic closed patellar fracture and illustrations of surgical treatment are presented.
Results:
Clinical data indicate the advantage of treatment in the main group.

Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
