ClinConnect Summary
The DePuy Synthes Variable Angle LCP Patella Plating System Study is looking at a new device designed to help heal broken kneecaps, also known as patella fractures. This study aims to find out if this new plating system is better than traditional methods for fixing a broken kneecap. It will involve men and women between the ages of 18 and 74 who have suffered a patellar fracture and are being treated at specific hospitals in Connecticut.
Participants in the study will undergo surgery and will be checked at various times after the operation, such as one day, six weeks, three months, six months, and one year later. During these visits, they will complete surveys, have X-rays taken to monitor healing, and participate in tests to assess their knee movement, strength, and balance. This is an important study that could help improve recovery from knee injuries for many patients.
