Total excision versus osteosynthesis in treatment of comminuted and displaced fracture patella

This work was done in Orthopedic Department, Mansoura University Hospital. 45 cases with comminuted displaced fracture patella were included. 22 were treated by total patellectomy. 23 were treated by open reduction and internal fixation by different methods [10 circulage wiring, 8 tension bond wiring and 5 screw fixation]. Results were evaluated in both groups. It was proved that internal fixation had better results than total patellectomy
