Abstract：Objective To observe the effect of absorbable sutures in treatment of patellar dislocation complicated by os-teochondral fracture. Methods From January 2010 to December 2014,15 patients of patellar dislocation complicated by osteo-chondral fracture were treated in our department. Fractures were reduced and fixed with absorbable sutures,lateral patellar reti-nacular were released,the medial patellofemoral ligament were repaired or reconstructed. The Lysholm and IKDC knee scoring system were used to evaluate the knee function,imaging examinations were used to observe the fracture healing. Results Pa-tients recovered well after operation without complications such as infection and redislocation. The Lysholm score improved from (38. 5 ± 6. 8)preoperative to(80. 4 ± 7. 5)at the last follow-up,and the IKDC score improved from(36. 8 ± 6. 2)preoperative to(76. 2 ± 5. 9)at the last follow-up,the difference was significant. Imaging revealed oteochondral fracture healed well. Conclu-sion Efficacy of absorbable sutures to treat patellar dislocation complicated by osteochondral fracture has the advantage of easy operation and no need of removing internal fixator.
