Separate vertical wiring versus conventional tension band fixation for inferior pole patellar fractures: a prospective cohort study on postoperative patella baja and functional outcomes
The SVW technique significantly reduces the risk of patella baja and improves knee range of motion by optimizing vertical tension distribution, establishing it as a biomechanically superior fixation strategy for AO/OTA A1 inferior pole patellar fractures. These findings support SVW as a first-line treatment for such complex injuries.
