Quadriceps tendon rupture through a superolateral bipartite patella

G William Woods et al. J Knee Surg. 2007 Oct.

Abstract

We report a case of a quadriceps tendon rupture through a bipartite patella. Although quadriceps tendon ruptures and patella fractures are common, rupture through a bipartite patella fragment is rare. This case was managed similar to a quadriceps rupture with an excellent result.
