Assessment of the Functional Outcomes Associated with Tension Band Wire (TBW) Treatment for Patella Fractures at Bolan Medical and Teaching Hospital, Quetta
Descriptive analysis assessed functional outcomes in 142 patella fractures, suggesting effective recovery with tension band wiring.
Key Points
Patients who underwent tension band wiring showed good to excellent functional recovery in over 73% of cases, with the highest results classified as good.
Analysis included 142 patients evaluated at two, four, and twelve weeks post-surgery, demonstrating the effectiveness of the treatment method.
This observational study highlights the effectiveness of tension band wiring alongside cerclage for enhancing stability and outcomes post-patella surgery.
Improvements in function post-surgery are significant, particularly with anatomic reduction being crucial for achieving successful outcomes.
