A 13-year- old boy sustained a superior pole patellar sleeve fracture after a blunt trauma of the knee. A medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction had been performed 4 weeks earlier. The patient underwent surgery to reinsert the quadriceps tendon in the superior pole of the patella using two bone suture anchors. One-year postoperative assessment revealed excellent functional outcomes. Sleeve fractures are easily misdiagnosed, and in our case, clinical examination was essential in order to perform the diagnosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
