Abstract

Application of Tension-Free External Immobilization for the Treatment of Patellar Inferior Pole Fracture

Mira Runkel*

Early mobilization may result in loss of fracture reduction and immobilization failure in Inferior Pole Fracture of the Patella (IPFP), which features small, comminuted fracture blocks that are challenging to immobilize. To accomplish strict immobilization with early functional activity is thus a challenge of treatment. Here, tension-free external immobilization is proposed as a novel therapeutic approach.
