Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the initial result arthroscopic and fluoroscopic-assisted reduction and fixation (ARIF) technique in the treatment of displaced pattelar fractures. Subject and method: A prospective study. From 01/2021 to 08/2022, 5 patients (2 males, 3 females; mean age 52 years) with displaced pattelar fractures treated by ARIF at a 12-month follow-up. Result: All patients were excellent and good outcomes based on Lysholm score (75-95) and ROM of the knee (135º-155º). Conclusion: ARIF is available to be applied and led to good clinical results for displaced pattelar fractures. Studies with a large cohort are necessary to further confirm the effectiveness of this technique.
