Introduction: Post-operative complications related to hardware, particularly symptoms caused by it, such as implant impingement, wire breakage, and skin infection are frequently reported following surgical management of patellar fractures with stainless steel wires. As a potential solution, some researchers have advocated for the use of non-absorbable sutures for fracture fixation. This study aims to investigate the clinical and radiological outcomes of patients treated with fiber taping as an alternative technique.

Nevertheless, in some cases, particularly those who receive primary treatment from a local bonesetter, they may present with a neglected shoulder dislocation. In the absence of comprehensive studies, health-care professionals have to resort to lower-tier evidence and practical experience to guide their treatment decisions.

No singular therapeutic approach has successfully tackled all facets of this injury. Consequently, we now introduce a pioneering fixation method in our report, aiming to offer a holistic solution to the intricate challenges associated with this scenario.

Introduction: Distal pole of patella avulsion fracture with tibial tuberosity avulsion has been frequently reported as a bifocal patellar tendon injury. However, an osteochondral lateral patella facet fracture with a longitudinal split in the patella tendon in addition to these avulsion fractures has never been documented previously. Hence, we now report this trifocal patellar tendon injury.
