Open Reduction and Orthogonal Tension Band Plating of an Isolated Periprosthetic Tibial Tubercle Fracture
Isolated periprosthetic tibial tubercle fractures with disruption of the extensor mechanism can be treated with ORIF using orthogonal tension band plating. At 1-year follow-up, the surgical technique described in this report yielded radiographic union, clinical restoration of preinjury motion, and excellent patient-reported outcomes.
