Postoperative Outcomes of Star Plate Fixation Versus Tension Band Wiring in Displaced Transverse Patella Fractures

Both TBW and star plate fixation achieved comparable union rates, union times, and functional outcomes in displaced transverse patellar fractures. However, the star plate group showed a slightly higher complication rate, including one case of non-union.

Abstract

Both TBW and star plate fixation achieved comparable union rates, union times, and functional outcomes in displaced transverse patellar fractures. However, the star plate group showed a slightly higher complication rate, including one case of non-union.
