    This study evaluated two cannulated screw tension-band fixation techniques combined with cerclage fixation for displaced patellar fractures.

  • 2

    Patients were divided into two groups: modified cross cannulated screws and parallel cannulated screws, with outcomes assessed over two years.

  • 3

    Bony union was achieved in all cases, with no significant differences in healing time or complications between the two groups.

  • 4

    Group I had higher operation time, blood loss, and fluoroscopy times compared to Group II, indicating differences in surgical efficiency.

  • 5

    Both fixation techniques resulted in improved Böstman scores at 6 months post-surgery, with no significant difference between the groups.
