Among these cases, 16 patients were males and 22 were females, aged 23\u201368\u2009years (average 40.4\u2009\u00b1\u20099.1\u2009years). Comminuted patellar fractures were classified according to the AO\/OTA classification: 10 cases were type 34-C2 (three fragments), 28 cases were type 34-C3 (more than three fragments). Postoperative complications including loosening of internal fixation, fragment re-displacement, nonunion, infection, breakage of internal fixation and traumatic osteoarthritis were assessed. The clinical results after operation were evaluated by the clinical grading scales of B\u00f6stman including range of movement, pain, work, atrophy, assistance in walking, effusion, giving way, and stair-climbing during follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>\n              <jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A total of 38 patients were followed up for 6\u201336\u2009months (mean time 16.1\u2009\u00b1\u20095.8\u2009months). The bone union radiographically occurred at approximately 2.5\u20133.5\u2009months (mean time 2.92\u2009\u00b1\u20090.25\u2009months). No postoperative complications, such as infection, dislocation, breakage of the implants, painful hardware, and post-traumatic osteoarthritis, were observed. According to the clinical grading scales of B\u00f6stman, satisfactory results were obtained, and the mean score at the final follow-up was 28.7 (range 20\u201330) points. Thirty-two patients (84.2%) with excellent results had a mean score of 29.5\u2009\u00b1\u20090.7 (range 28\u201330) points, and six patients (15.8%) with good results had a mean score of 24.5\u2009\u00b1\u20092.2 (range 20\u201327) points.
