General trauma
This is a case of Minimally Invasive Patella Fixation (MIS), a technique that offers advantages over traditional open methods for treating patella fractures. Developed since the 2000s, it’s continually improved for efficacy and safety, indicated for displaced fractures of 3 to 8 mm in healthy patients. Contraindications include non-displaced fractures and complex patterns. MIS benefits include minimal invasion, precise radiology, stability, shorter surgery, and faster recovery. Procedure steps involve drainage, reduction, wire placement, bending, cutting, and radiographic control. Key points stress fluoroscopy use, small incisions, stability, and shorter surgery. Initially tested on human specimens, this procedure was the focus of Dr. Buendia Saavedra’s graduation thesis
