Mo Passer (Mufasa): A Cost-Effective Alternative Suture-Passer Technique for Patella Fracture Fixation

Suture passers are indispensable instruments in orthopaedic surgery, particularly in open procedures. Commercial suture passers, while effective, can be costly and may not be readily available in all surgical settings. We present the Mo Passer (Mufasa), an innovative, cost-effective technique utilizing standard theatre materials. This paper demonstrates its application in patella fracture fixation procedures, highlighting its efficiency and economic advantages in orthopaedic surgery.

Abstract

Suture passers are indispensable instruments in orthopaedic surgery, particularly in open procedures. Commercial suture passers, while effective, can be costly and may not be readily available in all surgical settings. We present the Mo Passer (Mufasa), an innovative, cost-effective technique utilizing standard theatre materials. This paper demonstrates its application in patella fracture fixation procedures, highlighting its efficiency and economic advantages in orthopaedic surgery.
