[The lateral tension band--a method of osteosynthesis of patella fractures for immediate carrying capacity (author's transl)]. 1977

R Labitzke

The tensions caused by means of flexors and tensors on the intact and by various procedures operated fractured patella have been determined. The disadvantages of the cerclage and the eccentric ventral tension band, both of them mainly usual, are exposed. Interfragmentary measurements of pression power in a corpse knee as well as breaking tests with a model patella and first experiences by operation with a new method confirm the reflexions. Principles for a modus of osteosynthesis for fractures of the patella are realized by the lateral tension-band. All loading inclined fragment distractive powers thereby are taken up by production a high-level interfragmentary compression, so that immediate postoperative loading is possible.
