Comparison of Patella Plating Versus Tension Band Wiring for the Treatment of Unstable Patellar Fractures

Patients in the patella anatomical locking plate group will undergo internal fixation with an anterior locking plate and screw construct using the 2.7mm variable angle (VA) locking patella plating system (DePuy Synthes, Zuchwil, Switzerland)

Patients in the tension band wiring group will undergo open anatomical reduction and internal fixation with a tension band wire construct.
