A novel approach to the minimally invasive application of a tension band for transverse patellar fractures assisted by a nice knot
It has been demonstrated that using the Nice knot in the minimally invasive treatment of transverse patellar fractures improves the reduction effect and decreases the incidence of iatrogenic fractures.Patients who underwent minimally invasive surgery experienced early postoperativepain reduction, improved knee range of motion, improved Bostman scores, early postoperative, discharge and incidence of complications.
