초록

슬개골 횡골절은 수술이 필요한 전위된 슬개골 골절의 가장 흔한 형태이다. 이러한 슬개골 횡골절은 골절선을 지나 평행하게 삽입된 Kirschner-강선이나 나사못에 장력대 강선을 추가적으로 고정한 기법이 흔히 사용된다. 그러나 고식적인 고정 방법의 경우 삽입된 강선이나 핀의 돌출에 의한 합병증이 흔히 발생한다. 이러한 합병증은 내고정물의 제거를 위한 추가적인 수술을 필요로 하고, 의료비 상승 및 슬관절의 기능 제한을 일으킬 수 있다. 이에 슬개골 횡골절에 대해 안정적인 고정력을 제공하고 수술 시 연부조직 손상을 최소화하여 골절부 혈류를 보존하고 수술 후 통증을 감소시키며, 내고정물에 의한 자극과 그에 따른 통증을 감소시켜 관절 운동 제한 발생 위험을 감소 시키는 최소 침습 부하 분산 경피적 슬개건 봉합술을 이용하여 치료한 사례들을 수술 술기와 함께 보고하고자 한다.

A transverse fracture is the most common type of displaced patella fracture requiring surgery. These fractures are commonly fixed with parallel Kirschner wires or screws that cross the fracture line, often with an additional tension band. Nevertheless, conventional fixation methods of patella fractures have prevalent complications caused by the protrusion of wires or pins. These complications necessitate additional surgery for hardware removal, increase medical cost, and can limit the function of the knee joint. This paper reports cases treated with a minimally invasive load-sharing percutaneous suture of the patella tendon. The procedure provides reliable fixation for transverse patella fractures, minimizes soft tissue injuries, preserves blood flow, and reduces postoperative pain. In addition, the procedure also reduces the irritation and pain caused by the internal fixture, thereby reducing the risk of restricted knee joint movement.
