[Anterior plate osteosynthesis for multifragmentary patella fracture with additive stabilization of the distal pole using suture cerclage].

Plate osteosynthesis is biomechanically superior in comparison to the widely used tension band osteosynthesis. In multifragmentary fractures, additional augmentation with a suture tape cerclage seems to be appropriate. Due to the lack of study results there is currently no clinical evidence for this.
