Abstrakt: Patella baja is an uncommon yet dangerous condition primarily found in patients who have received knee surgery, but can occur in anyone, more commonly in overweight, middle-aged males. The case presented outlines an instance in which a man with no previous history of knee injury or surgery, yet with other high-risk factors, develops patella baja after a minor injury. The case highlights the importance of testing and awareness of such conditions. The case report outlines the cause, diagnosis, and treatment of the patient's condition.
