The clinical characteristics of sleeve fractures of the patella are described and the methods of treatment are reviewed. Attention is drawn to the fact that the diagnosis may be missed because the distal bony fragment may be so small as not to be detectable by radiography. This is important because a large fragment of articular cartilage also separates. The best result was obtained from reconstitution of the extensor apparatus by internal fixation of the patellar fracture with repair of the quadriceps expansion.
本文描述了髌骨袖状骨折的临床特征，并对其治疗方法进行了综述。需要注意的是，由于远端骨块可能过小以至于X线检查无法发现，可能会漏诊。这一点很重要，因为同时还有一大块关节软骨分离。通过髌骨骨折内固定并修复股四头肌扩张部来重建伸膝装置，可获得最佳治疗效果。
