To evaluate the clinical effect of the nitinol (NiTi)-patellar concentrator (NT-PC) for the treatment of comminuted patellar fractures.
A total of 32 patients with acute comminuted patellar fracture accepted open reduction and internal fixation with the NT-PC, and the curative effects were evaluated using the Böstman clinical grading scale.
All fractures were anatomically reduced by surgery and all cases were followed-up for six to 18 months. The mean score of patients according to the Böstman clinical grading scale was 25.6, with 29 of 32 (90.7%) patients achieving excellent or good results. Two patients had traumatic arthritis, one had slippage of the NT-PC, and all patients received pharmacotherapy.
The application of the NT-PC is a satisfactory approach to the treatment of comminuted patellar fractures.
评估镍钛聚髌器(NT-PC)治疗髌骨粉碎性骨折的临床效果。
32例急性髌骨粉碎性骨折患者接受了镍钛聚髌器切开复位内固定术,采用Böstman临床分级量表评估疗效。
所有骨折均通过手术实现解剖复位,所有病例均随访6至18个月。根据Böstman临床分级量表,患者的平均评分为25.6分,32例患者中有29例(90.7%)获得优或良的结果。2例患者出现创伤性关节炎,1例镍钛聚髌器移位,所有患者均接受了药物治疗。
镍钛聚髌器的应用是治疗髌骨粉碎性骨折的一种令人满意的方法。
