Abstract
The authors report about a case of traumatic separation of a horizontally bipartite patella in a young female soccer player. Unspecific anterior knee pain preceded the fracture, which had occurred after an inadequate trauma. Open reduction and osteosynthesis led to bony union with an excellent clinical outcome at follow-up.
