Internal fixation of comminuted patellar fractures with only non-absorbable suture via nice knot: a retrospective study
Compared with traditional tension band fixation, the Nice knot technique reduces soft tissue irritation, avoids implant removal surgery, potentially lowers postoperative infection rates, and achieves comparable fracture healing time and knee function. However, broader validation through multi-center studies is required.
