A Combined Tension-band braided polyester and suture button technique is a valuable treatment alternative for transverse patellar fractures in athletes
MUSCULOSKELETAL SURGERY, 2019Co-Authors: B. Bukva, K Alkhelaifi, P. D’hooghe, B. Poberaj, M. Hutchinson, P LandreauAbstract:Purpose Transverse patellar fractures (TPFs) are uncommon in athletes, and their treatment can be challenging. Stable fixation is commonly achieved by compression screw fixation and stainless steel cerclage wire, but this technique can be associated with complications like nonunion, infection and the need for early hardware removal. We used a Combined Tension-band (figure-of-eight) braided polyester and suture button technique to treat four athletes who presented with transverse patellar fractures. This technique has shown to be a valuable alternative to the classic technique and allows for adequate fracture compression, stability and union in TPF. Methods Using a Tension-band braided polyester and suture button technique (Arthrex FibreTape^R&TightRope^R), we treated four athletes with transverse patellar fractures from September 2015 till January 2017. The polyester was looped over the four suture button fixation points and Tensioned in a figure-of-eight fashion. The average age of the athletes was 26 years (range 17–36). Follow-up ranged from 5 to 21 months. All four patients were treated using the same surgical technique (minimally invasive surgery) with the same postoperative recovery and the same physiotherapy protocol. Results Full recovery using suture button adjustable loop fixation device was obtained in all four cases within 3 months after surgery, with fracture healing confirmed on postoperative radiographs. No patients required hardware removal. Potential problems with this technique can include bony tunnel malpositioning or soft tissue interpositioning underneath the suture buttons. Conclusion The combination of a suture button fixation and a braided polyester Tension-band technique has shown to be a valuable alternative to the fracture management of transverse patella fractures in athletes. This results in fracture healing, low risk of complications and no need for hardware removal.
