    PurposeTo assess the clinical results of using mesh plate in management of displaced comminuted fracture patella.Patients And MethodsBetween January 2014 and October 2015, nine patients with closed displaced comminuted fracture patella were fixed using mesh plate and 2mm mini screws.ResultsAll fractures united after an average of 10 weeks. At final follow-up of an average 19.6 months, average postoperative Lysholm score was 89.1±4.9, and average Postoperative Böstman scale was 27.2±3.1. No hardware related complications were recorded.ConclusionLow profile mesh plate is a good option in management of comminuted fracture patella with good clinical outcome. This new surgical technique may be particularly useful in comminuted fractures when patellectomy would otherwise be considered.Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
