Patella fractures mainly occur in elderly women (> 65 years), commonly caused by low-energy trauma. The main treatment is non-operative (67%), except for transverse (AO/OTA C3) fractures. TBW remains the most used operative treatment of choice. These results may help health care providers, researchers and clinicians better understand the panorama of patella fractures in Sweden.
