Abstract
The overall one-year mortality rate of patella fractures was 2.8% and this was increased to 6.2% in patients older than 65 years. In elderly patients above 65 years, the relative risk of death was 0.9, indicating that patella fractures in elderly patients were not associated with an increased mortality rate.
