Abstract
Patella sleeve fractures are rare injuries that occur in pediatric patients. For minimally displaced fractures, nonoperative treatment with immobilization is possible. When fractures are displaced, surgical repair is indicated. Previously described operative techniques include transosseous sutures and tension band wiring. We describe a surgical technique to repair distal pole and patella sleeve avulsion fractures in pediatric patients using intraosseous suture anchors with suture cerclage augmentation.
