Patellar Fracture, Case 2: Cannulated Screws and Cerclage

Study Patellar Fracture, Case 2: Cannulated Screws and Cerclage through an immersive first-person surgical case from the Bone Reconstruction channel on Surgie. The module focuses on fixation of displaced patellar fractures, difficult reduction in a knee with flexion stiffness, and use of cannulated screws associated with cerclage.

Procedure Overview

The case is organized for structured review of surgical anatomy, procedural sequencing, instrument handling, reduction or reconstruction strategy, implant positioning, and intraoperative verification. Expert narration connects the visual field with the decisions documented during the procedure.

What You Will Observe

• Fixation of displaced patellar fractures
• Difficult reduction in a knee with flexion stiffness
• Use of cannulated screws associated with cerclage
• Strategies for associated longitudinal fractures
• Preservation of the extensor mechanism

Key Technical Decisions

• Anatomic Planning
• Selective Periosteal Dissection
• Progressive Reduction in High-Tension Situations
• Use of Temporary Crossed Wires
• Sequence of Cannulated Screws

Included With This Training

• Technical PDF summarizing the procedure, operative sequence, and key review points.
