“Net cage” technique in the treatment of inferior pole patella fracture
The "Net cage" technique for the treatment of inferior pole patella fractures shows promising short- to mid-term results, with the potential advantages of reducing fluoroscopy times, providing stable fixation, facilitating early functional exercise, and achieving favorable postoperative knee joint function. However, given the limitations of the study design, the clinical application and advantages of this technique require further verification by large-sample, multi-center randomized controlled studies.
