📌 Patellar Fracture

• Patellar fractures complicating Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) are uncommon, occurring in approximately 1% of cases. However, they represent one of the most frequent types of periprosthetic fractures.
• Patellar fractures can be classified as either transverse or vertical. Most patellar fractures are vertical and laterally based, typically without disruption of the extensor mechanism.
• Fractures that do not involve disruption of the extensor mechanism or loosening of the patellar implant can often be treated nonoperatively, yielding good results.
