Nonoperative 2. ORIF Cerclage wire Tension band wire Lag screws + tension band wire Tension band plating Lag screws Lag screws + neutralization plating Suture button Patella fractures – Treatment Goals • • • • Restore extensor mechanism Reduce articular incongruity Facilitate early knee mobilization Respect soft tissues 3.
