Management of Patella Fractures Non-amenable to Tension Band Wiring: Series of Nine Cases with Review of Literature

Journal of Orthopaedic Case Reports | 2022 | Shrihari L Kulkarni, Sunil Mannual, Manjunath Daragad, Naveenkumar Patil

Introduction: Patella fractures account for about 1% of all musculoskeletal injuries. Modified tension band wiring (TBW) is the most commonly used technique for the management of patella fractures. However, all patella fractures are not-amenable to TBW. In this series, we present nine cases managed with open reduction and internal fixation using non-absorbable braided polyester...

Modified Triple-Bundle Tension Band Wiring for Comminuted Patella Fractures: A Case Report

EAS Journal of Orthopaedic and Physiotherapy | 2025 | Dr. T. Siddhu Tamil Chellam, Dr. Abhishek Jain

Patellar fractures, which compromise the knee's extensor mechanism, are commonly encountered orthopedic injuries. Tension band wiring (TBW) is the standard approach for managing simple transverse fractures but is not without complications such as wire migration and breakage. This case report introduces a modified TBW method intended to enhance mechanical stability and mitigate...

Modified Tension Band Wiring of Transverse Patella Fractures Through Cannulated Cancellous Screws

Journal of Orthopaedic Diseases and Traumatology | 2023 | Abhishek Gumaste, Prasanna Baindoor, Santosh Jeevannavar, Keshav Shenoy

Introduction: The management of transverse patella fractures with modified tension band wiring using Kirschner wires, though routinely used is associated with complications such as implant loosening, wire migration, and infection. We hypothesized that using cannulated cancellous screws with tension band wiring through the screws will overcome these complications. Objective: The...

Abstract Background: Tension band supplemented by K-wires has long been the definitive technique for patellar fractures fixation. However, it is not without drawbacks. The stainless streel cable-cannulated screw tension band technique, may shorten healing time, decrease the complications and provide early range of knee motion. Herein, the current study evaluates the clinical an...
