Abstract EN
This study evaluated complications associated with implant depth in headless compression screw treatment of an osteochondral fracture associated with a traumatic patellar dislocation in a 21-year-old woman.
Computed tomography and X-rays showed one lateral fracture fragment measuring 25 × 16 mm.
Osteosynthesis was performed with two headless compression screws.
Five months later, the screws were removed because of patella-femoral implant friction.
We recommend that the screw heads be embedded to a depth of at least 3 mm below the cartilage surface.
Further clinical studies need to examine the variation in cartilage thickness in the fracture fragment.
