A unique complication following arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction

K M Ouweleen et al. Arthroscopy. 1995 Apr.

Abstract

The use of the middle third of a patellar tendon with bone blocks is a common and well-accepted technique for arthroscopic reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament. We report here a disconcerting fracture/avulsion pattern of the patella/patellar tendon mechanism that occurred in the early postoperative period.
