Fracture patella is a breach in the extensor mechanism of knee and needs to be fixed. Comminuted fractures are challenge given difficulty restoring mechanism. Introduction: Treatment options have evolved over years from sacrifice salvage i.e., total or partial patellectomy patellar preserving surgery. The remains fix fragments optimally also tailor-made physiotherapy rehabilitation program for ...

[Purpose] To investigate the patellar movement perception related to backward-leaning standing. [Subjects and Methods] Both the patellar range of motion during backward-leaning standing and perception related to patellar movement were analyzed using television-x irradiation images in 12 randomly selected healthy young individuals. [Results] Starting in a relaxed condition, two types of patellar...

Secondary patella resurfacing is a controversial procedure which is applied in patients with anterior knee pain after a bicondylar knee arthroplasty (with unresurfaced patella). A group of 46 patients were submitted to this procedure and their satisfaction, range of motion and pain improvement was evaluated. 52.2% of the patients were satisfied with the procedure, with an improvement in pain (V...

Abstract Background Chondroblastoma (CB) is a rare, primary, benign bone tumor that commonly affects men aged 15–20 years. It usually detected in the epiphysis of long bones, such as proximal femur, humerus, and tibia. The patella an infrequent site. CB with secondary aneurysmal cyst (ABC) extremely rare patella, which can be easily confused other common tumors patella. Thus, it necessary to ma...

Primary neoplasms of the patella account for less than 1% of all primary bone tumors of the lower extremity, the most frequent of them being the giant cell tumor of bone, the chondroblastoma, and the aneurysmal bone cyst. Herein, we report the case of a 29-year-old woman with an active giant cell tumor of the patella (GCTP) with its clinical and radiological features and a brief review of the l...

Superior dislocation of the patella with intact patellar tendon is a rare condition. Most cases in literatures were diagnosed by clinical examination and plain radiography; however there are many cases that were misdiagnosed as patellar tendon rupture. In this case, we demonstrate the use of ultrasound for diagnosis of superior dislocation of the patella in the emergency department. We also inc...

Two cases of tuberculosis of the patella presenting as an osteolytic lesion with sequestrum are described. Timely diagnosis helped in successful management of both these cases, resulting in complete resolution of symptoms with a functional knee without need for patellectomy. Clinicians must consider the possibility of diagnosis of isolated patellar tuberculosis in patients presenting with an os...
