INTRODUCTION: Most patellar fractures are transverse involving the central third. Open reduction and stabilization of transverse patellar fractures is indicated if there is more than 2-3 mm of fragment separation and/or articular incongruity.SURGICAL TECHNIQUE: This study describes a percutaneous 2 cannulated screws and modified tension band wiring technique to treat transverse patellar fractures.MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed 30 cases of displaced transverse patellar fractures with this technique. The clinical outcomes of these patients were evaluated with simple radiographs, range of motion and Lyshom score.RESULTS: This technique has shown to provide satisfactory clinical results and excellent knee functions.CONCLUSIONS: This technique provide stable fixation, allows early motion exercise by minimizing injury to extensor mechanism and reduce cosmetic problem in scar.
