Trial summary
Patellar fractures are challenging orthopedic injuries. Fractures that result in disruption of the extensor mechanism led to significant functional deficits.

About this study
Patellar fractures are challenging orthopedic injuries. Fractures that result in disruption of the extensor mechanism led to significant functional deficits. The goals of treatment for patella fractures include restoration of articular congruity, painless full range of motion of the knee, and recovery of extensor mechanism function.
The biomechanical construct chosen to fix patellar fractures is very important because of the subcutaneous location of the patella and the high level of force transmission that occurs through the patella during flexion and extension of the knee. Some studies have shown that during specific actions like walking or climbing downhill, the patella can see forces as high as 3200 N, equaling four to five times the standard body weight of a person. Achieving biomechanical stability during patellar fracture fixation is imperative as the stability of fixation is tested thousands of times as the knee is put through numerous cycles of flexion and extension during the recovery period. While tension band wiring with or without -K- wire, screw, or cerclage wire augmentation the most widely accepted form of treatment for patellar fractures, plate osteosynthesis is gaining popularity for certain fracture patterns. We present below a novel form of patellar fracture fixation using MatrixNEURO Contourable Mesh plates (Synthes®). Made of titanium with an incredibly low profile, these plates were initially designed for use in midface and craniofacial skeletal trauma.
However, we found that using these plates in treatment of patellar fractures has allowed stable fixation of complex, severely comminuted injuries The benefit of plate is adequate and stable reduction and maintenance of this reduction

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jan 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Ayman A AboGabal, resident (01014464351, aymanatef@med.sohag.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
adequate and stable reduction (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06205914, which also lists 4 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Jan 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
