Clinical application of multiple 3D-printed guide plates for precise reduction and fixation of comminuted patellar fractures

Because of the lack of anatomical landmarks during reduction of multiple articular surfaces and fragments in comminuted patellar fractures, loss of bone fragments or aggravation of soft tissue and ligament injuries readily occurs. In the present case, we used multiple three-dimensional (3D)-printed...

description Because of the lack of anatomical landmarks during reduction of multiple articular surfaces and fragments in comminuted patellar fractures, loss of bone fragments or aggravation of soft tissue and ligament injuries readily occurs. In the present case, we used multiple three-dimensional (3D)-printed guide plates to reduce and fix a comminuted patellar fracture. A 22-year-old man was hospitalized for 2 days because of left knee joint pain and limited movement caused by a traffic accident. Preoperative imaging revealed a comminuted fracture of the left patella (type 34-C3 according to the AO/OTA classification). Throughout a 2-year follow-up, the patient remained in generally good condition with no significant limitation of his left knee joint activity. Application of multiple 3D-printed guide plates is a safe and effective auxiliary technique for the treatment of comminuted patellar fractures. This novel technique can shorten the operation time, reduce the number of fluoroscopic procedures, and ensure fracture healing and recovery of knee joint function through reliable reduction of the articular surface.
