A 18-year-old male patient with right IPFP due to a fall. A Anteroposterior and lateral X-rays of the right knee before surgery. B After avulsion fracture reduction, the fracture block was immobilized using Kirschner wires with a blocking head, and 1-gauge absorbable sutures were used for suture immobilization. C Postoperative tension-free external immobilization device. D Anteroposterior and lateral X-rays of the right knee after surgery. E Postoperative frame-carrying conditions. F The knee function was good after removal of the external immobilization frame. G Anteroposterior and lateral X-rays of the right knee after removal of the external immobilization frame
