Patella fractures are relatively rare fractures and only little is known about the postoperative return to sports after patella fractures.
This retrospective study presents information on functional outcome after operative treatment of patella fractures as well as time until return to sports and patients' complaints after open-reduction internal-fixation (ORIF) of patella fractures.
Overall, 39 patients after ORIF of patella fractures were evaluated at our Level-I trauma center with a mean follow-up of 42 months. The mean time until return to sports was 7 ± 3.9 months. No significant difference was found for functional outcome with respect to body mass index (BMI) or age. Fracture consolidation was accomplished after a mean of 6.9 ± 2.9 months besides a relatively low complication rate of 5.1% (n = 2).
The results demonstrate a high return to sports rate of 90.3%. However, only 51.6% were able to perform sports on their pre-injury level or above. Trial Registration The study was retrospectively registered at DRKS (No: DRKS00031146).
髌骨骨折相对少见，对于髌骨骨折后的术后重返运动知之甚少。
本回顾性研究介绍了切开复位内固定（ORIF）治疗髌骨骨折后的功能结果以及重返运动的时间和患者的抱怨。
在我们的一级创伤中心，共有 39 例接受 ORIF 治疗的髌骨骨折患者接受了评估，平均随访时间为 42 个月。重返运动的平均时间为 7±3.9 个月。功能结果与 BMI 或年龄无关。骨折愈合平均需要 6.9±2.9 个月，并发症发生率相对较低，为 5.1%（n=2）。
结果表明，90.3%的患者能够重返运动，但只有 51.6%的患者能够恢复到受伤前或更高水平的运动。
该研究在 DRKS 进行了回顾性注册（编号：DRKS00031146）。
