Clinical and functional outcomes of locked plating vs. cerclage compression wiring for AO type C patellar fractures- a retrospective single-center cohort study.

In our study cohort, LP was routinely chosen for more complex fracture morphologies; nevertheless the data implies that LP may be considered as the superior fixation technique in regard to complications and revision operations. Especially, K-wire migration occurs frequently after CCW. The one year functional outcome was comparable between the groups, with both demonstrating good results. Prospective randomized studies are indicated to validate our findings.
