Abstract

BACKGROUND: Displaced transverse fractures of the body of the patella are usually associated with disruption of extensor mechanism and should be fixed surgically. The most common method is a tension band wiring (TBW) technique. Some surgeons concurrently employ an augmented circumferential cerclage wiring (ACCW) technique to help fracture stabilization and aid in fracture healing; however, its role and effect on the treatment outcomes is unclear. METHODS: We performed a STROBE-compliant retrospective observational cohort study on all cases of acute closed patella fracture that were treated at
