Ossification in the patellar tendon and patella alta following sports injuries in children. Complications of sleeve fractures after conservative treatment

J D Bruijn et al. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg. 1993.

Abstract

Two patients with sleeve fractures of the patella and tibial tuberosity respectively are described. Our two cases demonstrate that the diagnosis can be difficult; patella alta and ossification in the patellar tendon are complications of conservative treatment. Early diagnosis and operative reduction and fixation are mandatory.
