    Abstract

    Infected Compound patella fractures are difficult to treat in terms of scarring of subcutaneous tissue with extensor mechanism. Previously it was treated with patellectomy and authors wanted to retain the patella in view of retaining the integrity of extensor mechanism. Aim: To compare the clinical outcome of results of patellectomy retrogradely and compression external fixation by JESS fixator prospectively- in infected compound fractures patella Methods: The results of previously done patellectomy cases(n=5) were compared with prospectively followed similar cases managed with compression external fixation by JESS fixators (n=5). Comparison was done with Knee society clinical scoring and range of movement of knee joint at completion of 6 months period. Results: The results were better with patellectomy group compared with compression external fixation group
