Suture Anchor Fixation for Inferior Pole Patellar Fractures
Suture anchor fixation for inferior pole patellar fractures is a minimally invasive surgical method suitable for small fracture fragments that are difficult to stabilize using traditional plates or screws. The core of the technique involves implanting anchors combined with high-strength sutures to reconstruct the attachment point of the patellar ligament to the fracture fragment, thereby restoring joint stability. The procedure requires precise fracture reduction, proper anchor selection, and emphasis on postoperative rehabilitation exercises to reduce the risk of joint stiffness. Indications and Principle Inferior pole patellar fractures are often caused by direct trauma or sudden, forceful contraction of the quadriceps. Due to the small size of the fracture fragment and its proximity to the patellar ligament insertion point, conventional internal fixation methods may fail. Anchor fixation is particularly suitable for small fragments (<1.5 cm) or c...
