Table 1 Pros and cons of our technique using the 30-degree radiolucent triangle during surgery in distal avulsion fractures of the patella
PROS | CONS |
|---|---|
Easy to use Reproducible Avoid patellar asymmetry via malpositioning Cost effective Less irradiating than multiple conventional radiographs | Not applicable if contralateral knee: Is injured too Has pathological Insall-Salvati ratio due to previous surgery or trauma Has previous knee arthroplasty |
