Summary

This study tests a new way to fix broken kneecaps using strong stitches instead of screws and cables. It will enroll 50 adults aged 18-55 with specific types of patellar fractures. The goal is to see if the stitch method leads to better knee function, less pain, and faster healing over 12 months.
