Patella Fracture Overview and Management by David Villanueva is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The patella is the largest sesamoid bone in the body. Fractures of the patella are more common in males between the ages of 20 to 50. Fractures to the patella account for approximately 1% of all skeletal fractures and can occur through direct or indirect mechanisms, with transverse fractures being the most common type seen.
