Usami T, Takada N, Sakai H, et al. - This research was sought to evaluate the effectiveness of forged composites of raw particulate unsintered hydroxyapatite/poly-L-lactide (F-u-HA/PLLA) cannulated screws and FiberLoop for treating transverse patellar fractures. In the study, 15 patients with transverse patellar fractures were treated with F-u-HA/PLLA cannulated screws and FiberLoop between April 2013 and February 2019: open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) were conducted with two F-u-HA/PLLA cannulated screws and a temporary fixation Kirshner wire (K-wire). Researchers conducted a radiograph to assess fracture healing, screw breakage, reduction loss, and screw radio-opacity. They further evaluated clinical outcomes and postoperative complications. The outcomes strongly imply that for transverse patellar fractures, ORIF with F-u-HA/PLLA screws and FiberLoop could be an alternative treatment option.
