[Transverse patellar fracture--reposition and stabilization from its arthroscopic viewpoint].
Closed osteosynthesis, using traction screws under arthroscopic inspection, is a therapeutic alternative to handle defined open patellar fractures with due consideration of the specific physiological conditions of the knee joint. Surgical management of this type of fracture is reported with reference to eleven cases of transverse patellar fractures handled by the authors of this paper, between 1985 and 1987.
