Abstract :

One of the most notorious fracture is fracture patella and it counts around 1% of skeletal fracture. It is mainly classified as displaced and displaced. The management varies from conservative management for undisplaced patella fractures to surgical management for displaced patella fracture. So we have conducted a study to evaluate the functional outcome of fracture patella after the operative management. 24 cases meeting the inclusion criteria were included in the study. Each patient would be evaluated according to GAUR criteria which included quadriceps wasting, Quadriceps functional loss, extension lag, knee ROM, knee pain and functional restoration for knee function evaluation on post-operative day 1, 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks. Every function was categories as excellent, good, fair or poor depends upon function and severity. 70.8% of the cases TBW was underwent were as encirclage wiringin 29.2%. According to GAUR criteria 66.7% had excellent, 25% good, 8.3% fair restoration of knee function. Our study conclude that fracture patella managed surgically with tension band wirirng/encirclage wiring gives more superior outcomes than en circlage wirirng alone. Tension band wirirng/encirclagewirring is simple and inexpensive method of surgical management of fracture patella. Early knee mobilization with knee range of motion exercises should be staretd early to avoid quadriceps muscle wasting
