CT evaluation of patellofemoral joint after patellar fractures treated with open reduction and internal fixation

Abstract

In this study, we examined 97 patella fractures which have been performed open reduction and internal fixation at the 1 st Orthopaedics and Trauma Clinic of Social Security Ankara Hospital between January 1983 and December 1988. After 24 to 96 months, on an average of 48.4 months' follow up period, the cases are evaluated clinically for knee function complaints and by CT and radiologically for patellofemoral articulation. In 11 of the patients (11.5) there were patellar displacement, 2 of the patients had patellar tilt (2.1%) and in 14 patients (14.5%) there were malalignment in which 1 patient (1.1%) had both patellar tilt and displacement. This data was obtained by measuring femoral trochlear angle (FTA) and patellar tilt angle (PTA) by CT at various knee flexion degrees. 33 patients (34%) had slight and 19 patients (19.6%) had severe degenerative changes at the patellofemoral articulation. it is found that there is close relation between the pain complaints of the patients and the type of the fracture time of management and the postoperative rehabilitation.
