Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Orthopedics - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Patella is the largest sessamoid bone, located subcutaneously and has an important role in knee extension mechanism. Patellar fractures account for approximately 1% of all fractures, present a higher prevalence within the age group of 20 to 50 years old and males are twice more affected than females. Aims and objective: To study the features of patellar fracture observed in tertiary care institute. Materials and Method: The present retrospective study was conducted in Department of Orthopedic at Dr Ulhas Patil Medical College and Hospital Jalgaon. For the purpose of study we studied the data of year 2014 and selected the cases of patellar fracture admitted in the institute during the year. Total 92 cases of patellar fracture were selected in the present study. The details of the case regarding the name, age, sex, occupation, and address were recorded. In all the Patients mode of injury and duration was recorded. The findings of thorough general and clinical examination were also recorded. The collected information was recorded on a prestructured proforma. The findings of radiographs were also recorded and the fracture was classified. Results: 30.43% patients were 31-40 years of age followed by 21-30 years of age (23.91%) and 41-50 years of age (18.48%). It was observe that majority of the patients were male (59.78%) with 1.49:1 of male to female ratio. 55.43% patient patellar fracture was on right side. The most common mode of injury was indirect injury with 61.96% patients. Majority of the fractures were Transverse and oblique fractures and it constitutes 84.78% of the patients followed by Comminuted and stellate fractures were observed (11.96%). Conclusion: Thus we conclude that patellar fracture were common in young and middle age group male. The common mode of injury as indirect force and Transverse and oblique fractures as common type.
