Osteochondral Fracture of the Patella Associated with Patellofemoral Dislocation: Case Report

Summary Traumatic osteochondral fractures in pediatric patients are associated with patellofemoral dislocations in a high percentage (18–75%). Clinical presentation is variable, so maintaining a high index of clinical suspicion is important for better diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes. Accordingly, we present the case of a 12-year-old patient with an osteochondral fracture of the patella associated with a patellofemoral dislocation. The treatment was surgical, involving osteosynthesis with HCS screws, resulting in an excellent functional outcome at 3 years of follow-up.
