Abstract
The central one-third bone-patella tendon-bone graft is a popular choice for arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Complications following graft harvesting are unusual, but several reports have been published. We report an unusual case involving a simultaneous patella fracture and patellar tendon rupture that occurred 6 weeks postoperatively.
