How to treat non-displaced patellar fractures

Non-displaced patellar fracture treatment methods include non-operative treatment and surgical treatment, the specific treatment plan should be determined according to the severity of the fracture, the patient's health status and other factors. The following is a detailed analysis of the treatment of non-displaced patellar fractures: 1. Non-surgical treatment: indications: patellar fractures with no significant displacement, or patients who cannot tolerate surgery for health reasons. Treatment: Fixation of the knee joint in extension with a long leg cast or brace for 4 to 6 weeks. During this period, isometric contraction of quadriceps femoris and ankle pump exercises are carried out to prevent muscle atrophy and deep vein thrombosis. After removing the plaster, flexion and extension exercises of knee joint are gradually started. 2. Surgical treatment: Applicable conditions: patella fracture obvious displacement, manual reduction failure, combined knee extension device injury or fracture affecting knee joint stability. Treatment method: The aim of surgical treatment is to restore the normal anatomical structure of patella and the flatness of articular surface, fix the broken end of fracture, and carry out early functional exercise. The surgical methods include patella internal fixation, patella external fixation, etc. Postoperative management: After operation, plaster or brace should be used to fix knee joint in extension position for 2~3 weeks. Then start knee flexion and extension exercises and gradually increase mobility and strength. At the same time, do quadriceps isometric contractions and straight leg raises to prevent muscle atrophy and deep vein thrombosis. It is important to note that no matter which treatment method is used, X-rays need to be reviewed regularly after surgery to understand the fracture healing situation, and rehabilitation training and functional exercise should be carried out according to the doctor's advice. In addition, during the treatment process, patients should follow the doctor's guidance, maintain good rest and eating habits, and help promote fracture healing and rehabilitation. Treatment options may vary for elderly patients, patients with osteoporosis or patients with other health problems. The doctor will assess the situation and develop an individualized treatment plan. In short, treatment of non-displaced patellar fractures should be tailored to the patient's specific situation. Early treatment and rehabilitation are essential to restore knee function. If there is any doubt about the treatment of fractures, you should communicate with your doctor in time to obtain the best treatment results.
