Abstract

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of three-dimensional strapping reduction in treatment of patellar fracture.

Methods: Between January 2015 and June 2015, thirty-two patients were randomly allocated to three-dimensional strapping reduction group (trial group) and towel clamp reduction group (control group). There was no significant difference in age, gender, damage side, interval from injury to opreration, fracture pattern, and cause of injury ( >0.05). The operation time, fluoroscopy time, fracture healing time, postoperative Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) scores, and complications were collected and analysed.

Results: All incisions healed at stage I. All patients of 2 groups were followed up 10-14 months (mean, 12.4 months). The operation time and fluoroscopy time of trial group were both shorter than those of control group ( =6.212, =0.000; =6.585, =0.000). X-ray films showed that the fractures in both groups healed successfully and there was no significant difference in healing time between groups ( =1.973, =0.058). Bone nonunion, infection, and failure fixation were not found in both groups. HSS scores of trial group (91.6±3.8) was higher than that of control group (86.4±5.5) ( =-3.105, =0.004).

Conclusion: Compared with towel clamp reduction, the three-dimensional strapping reduction in treatment of patellar fracture has the advantages of shorter operation time and fluoroscopy time, better knee function after operation, and satisfactory fracture healing.
