Screw holes are provided on the second fixing plate 2, and the specific number of the screw holes is two.
[0027] A first anti-slip groove 102 is provided at the left end of the first fixing plate 1. A second anti-slip groove 204 is provided at the right end of the second fixing plate 2. The first anti-slip groove 102 is provided on the rear end face of the first fixing plate 1. The second anti-slip groove 204 is provided on the front end face of the second fixing plate 2. A guide bar 104 cooperating with the upper end face and the lower end face of the first fixing plate 1 is provided on the rear end face of the first fixing plate 1. The arrangement of the guide bar 104 can ensure that the first fixing plate 1 and the second fixing plate 2 are on the same straight line. A long hole 103 cooperating with the locking screw 5 is formed on the first fixing plate 1. A locking hole cooperating with the locking screw 5 is formed on the second fixing plate 2. Before use, the matching length of the first fixing plate 1 and the second fixing plate 2 needs to be selected according to the size of the patella. The first fixing plate 1 and the second fixing plate 2 can be fixed by the locking screw 5, the locking hole, the long hole 103, the first anti-slip groove 102 and the second anti-slip groove 204.
