  • The aim of this study was to propose our rehabilitation protocol involving Korean medicine for patients with patellar fracture and report its effectiveness. Further, for the same patellar fracture patients, we created different protocols for those who underwent surgical treatment and those who required conservative treatment. Among patients who received inpatient treatment at our hospital for three years from August 2017 to August 2020, we included three patients who underwent surgical treatment for patellar fracture and one patient who required conservative treatment for patellar fracture. The degree of improvement of the patients was evaluated using physical examination findings of the knee joint, numeric rating scale, pain disability index, Lysholm knee score, and walking state. After each treatments, we observed that the range of motion of the knee joint, numeric rating scale, pain disability index, Lysholm knee score, and walking state improved in the patient groups. Even with the same patellar fracture, we observed that different rehabilitation treatments involving Korean medicine should be applied to patients who underwent surgical treatment and those who required conservative treatment. However, further studies are needed to design a rehabilitation protocol involving Korean medicine.

  • Patellar fractures in children represent less than 2% of all patellar fractures including adults, and occur about 1% of all pediatric fractures. Because of property of the growing patella, osteochondral or avulsion fractures are more common in children and the most common type of patella fracture in children is sleeve fracture. Avulsion or sleeve fractures of the patella in children can occur at the superior or inferior pole of the patella. Most reported cases of sleeve fracture are involving the inferior patellar pole, but involving the superior patellar pole is very rare. We experienced a case of sleeve fracture occurred at the superior pole of the patella in a sixteen-year-old boy and report this case with literature review.

  • Wiring techniques in the fixation of patellar fracture are commonly used. Rigid fixation is essential for early rehabilitation. Breakages of wires after the fixation of patellar fracture are common with extracapsular migration if not removed for long term. But, we experienced a case of patellar fracture with early breakage of wiring and migration of the broken wire fragment into the popliteal fossa through the popliteal hiatus in 64- year-old man and we successfully treated this case, using both arthroscopic and open procedures. So we report this unusual case with a review of current literatures.

  • A torn anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) is the most common serious ligamentous injury to the knee joint. The incidence of ACL tears seems to be increasing, at least partly as a result of the increasing participation of individuals of all ages in high-risk sports. The most commonly used graft source for ACL reconstruction is the autogenous bone-patellar tendon-bone graft unit. Despite a good success record. postoperative complications, such as infection, patellar contracture/patellar baja, patellar fracture, rupture of the patellar tendon, graft failure without reinjury, can occur following ACL surgery. The purpose of this paper is to provide guidelines regarding the key points of the reconstructive procedure in a sequence and how to prevent or minimize the complications that can follow ACL reconstructive surgery. We want this knowledge can help orthopaedic surgeons to understand the reasons for previous and current successes and failures of reconstruction of the ACL, and it can help them to plan the care of patients who have an injury of the ligament.

  • A patella sleeve fracture is a type of avulsion fracture in which a small osseous fragment gets, along with a sleeve of periosteum and cartilage, is pulled off from the patella. The avulsed sleeve of cartilage and periosteum is not apparent on plain radiographs, which can result in a missed diagnosis or an underestimate of the extent of injury. An avulsion or sleeve fracture of the patella in a child can occur at the superior or the inferior pole of the patella. However, most reported cases of sleeve fractures involve the inferior patellar pole, with fractures involving the superior patellar pole being very rare. The authors report a case of a sleeve fracture of the superior pole of the patella in an adolescent; the fracture was diagnosed with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and was treated with surgery after early diagnosis. The course was uneventful, and the outcome was excellent.

  • Purpose : To analyze the patterns of osteochondral fracture associated with patellar dislocation and to assess the results of arthroscopic treatment. Materials and Methods : Fourteen patients were treated from March, 1989 to April, 1998 for patellar dislocations with osteochondral fracture. The average follow-up was 32 months. All were treated by arthroscopic procedures. The location and size of the fracture fragments were recorded. To assess the functional results, we used Larsen & Lauridson's score system. Results : Osteochondral fractures were found 8 cases in medial side of patella, 1 case in lateral side of patella, 5 cases in lateral margin of lateral femoral condyle. The range of maximal diameter of osteochondral fragment was from 1cm to 4.2cm. Treatments include fragment excision only in 6 cases, excision and medial retinacular repair in 2 cases, excision and medial retinacular repair and lateral retinacular release in 3 cases, and internal fixation only in 3 cases. The functional results were excellent in 5 cases$(36\%)$. good in 6 cases$(43\%)$, fair in 1 case$(7\%)$ and poor in 2 cases$(14\%)$. Conclusion : In osteochondral fractures associated with patellar dislocation, arthroscopic treatment is useful to diagnose precisely, to determine proper treatment modality, and to minimize the complications.

  • Comminuted fractures of the patella mostly occur at the inferior pole and require appropriate reduction and fixation to restore the extensor mechanism. Conventional methods such as tension-band wiring are not enough to gain proper fixation strength. Numerous methods have been reported, including circumferential cerclage wiring, osteosynthesis, and suture anchors depending on the fracture pattern. Herein, the author reports a relatively rare case of a comminuted fracture of the upper pole of the patella, for which we used augmented Krackow sutures in the quadriceps and fixation with tying of the suture limbs through patellar bone tunnels. Satisfactory results were obtained in terms of reduction and extensor mechanism recovery.

  • 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.

  • Purpose: Evaluation and analysis of the incidence of postoperative complications after arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft. Materials and Methods: We reviewed 172 cases of arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft in anterior cruciate ligament tear without meniscal injury. We performed Lysholm knee score and KT-2000 testing, simple radiograph, physical examination as evaluation factor. Also, around knee pain, swelling, limitation of motion, patellofemoral crepitation, paresthesia and pain on kneeling were evaluated. Results: The average follow up period was 49.8 months. In 172 patients, 148 males and 26 femlaes were evaluated. The average age was 34.4 years. The Lysholm knee score improved from 51.9 points preoperatively to 90.8 points at final follow up. Clinical outcome was excellent in 83%, good in 11%, fair in 4% and poor in 2%. There were many cases of complications, 24 cases (14%) of around knee pain, 12 cases (7%) of swelling, 45 cases (26.2%) of patellofemoral crepitation, 52 cases (30%) of donor site paresthesia, 65 cases (38%) of pain on kneeling, 10 cases (5.8%) of limitation of motion at extension, 13 cases (8%) of limitation of motion at flexion and 2cases (1.2%) of patellar fracture. Conclusion: Although arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using bone-patellar tendon-bone had good clinical results, many complications were noted. Some factors in surgical technique were suspected to be related to the complications and long term follow up will be necessary to further evaluated.
