DePuy Synthes Variable Angle LCP Patella Plating System Study

This study is looking at how well a new device, the DePuy Synthes Variable Angle LCP Patella Plating System, works to fix a broken kneecap (patella). This device is already approved by the FDA. Researchers want to compare it to traditional ways of fixing kneecap fractures, like using screws or wires. They believe the new system might help with healing. You might be able to join if you are between 18 and 74 years old, have a broken kneecap, and are being treated at Hartford HealthCare The Bone and Joint Institute or Hartford Hospital. The study will look at how well you recover and how your knee functions after one year.

Study design
This is a randomized control trial, meaning participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the new device or traditional fixation. The study plans to enroll 36 participants.
What's involved
Not specified in the trial record.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed for one year to assess their recovery and knee function.
