Osteochondral Fractures After Patellar Dislocation: Current Concepts

Shehzaad A Khan et al. J Am Acad Orthop Surg Glob Res Rev. .

Abstract

Osteochondral fractures of the knee occur frequently after acute patellar subluxation or dislocation. They can be challenging to manage because of the difficulty in diagnosing and treating these injuries in a timely fashion, in addition to choosing the optimum fixation method. This review presents the background, considerations for patient evaluation, and the best treatment options available for osteochondral fractures.
