Abstract
A unique case of anterior knee pain in an active adolescent is described: a periosteal sleeve avulsion and quadriceps rupture in a young basketball player. The trauma mechanism was without any direct trauma on the knee. A review of overuse-related anterior knee pain in the young and active is presented. A quadriceps rupture with a periosteal sleeve avulsion fracture in an active adolescent is very rare. To our knowledge there are no similar cases described. This article presents a case of a 14-year-old adolescent boy who sustained a quadriceps rupture with a periosteal sleeve avulsion.
