Tension Band Fixation for Displaced Transverse Patella Fractures Using Cannulated Cancellous Screws Versus Kirschner Wires: A Six-Month Prospective Randomized Controlled Study

At six months, the CCS group achieved statistically higher but clinically marginal functional scores compared to K-wires, while also resulting in significantly less pain and far fewer hardware-related issues. This suggests that CCS fixation provides similar knee function, with added benefits of improved patient comfort, early rehabilitation, and a lower risk of complications.
