Fig. 3From: Abstaining from symptomatic implants of modified tension band wiring by nonabsorbable suture fixation for transverse patella fracturesIntra-operative finding showed the transverse patella fracture underwent open reduction and fixation with the modified tension band technique using FiberWire. Three longitudinal loops were tied down (a). Figure-of-eight loops crossed over the patella’s outer cortex (b). Intra-operative stability fixation was assessed; no fracture gap on passive ROM 0–90° was detected (c)Back to article page
