Background:

  • The existing AO-Classification for patellar fractures, established in 1979, relies on complex radiomorphologic criteria.
  • This classification has faced limited adoption within the medical community due to its perceived difficulty.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel classification system for patellar fractures.
  • To develop a classification that facilitates a clear therapeutic concept for managing these injuries.

Main Methods:

  • Radiomorphologic analysis of patellar fractures.
  • Development of a new classification system based on defined criteria.

Main Results:

  • The proposed classification offers a more straightforward approach compared to the existing AO-Classification.
