摘要
The patellar sleeve fracture is a rare entity in pediatric traumatology. Its diagnosis is challenging due to its rarity and subtle radiographic finding, and it is easily missed by emergency physicians. Early recognition and treatment of this fracture is of paramount importance in order to guarantee better outcomes. We present herein a case of severely displaced patellar sleeve fracture in an eight-year-old girl, which was treated successfully by open reduction and fixation of the osteochondral fragments using anchor sutures, yielding very positive clinical outcomes at the two-year follow-up.
