Acute dislocation of the patella with osteochondral fracture: a review of eighteen cases

CH Rorabeck and WP Bobechko

Eighteen patients with acute dislocation of the patella had associated osteochondral fractures. This fracture complicates approximately 5% of all acute dislocations of the patella occurring in children. Three types of fracture patterns were noted. All patients who were treated by immediate arthrotomy and excision or replacement of the osteochondral fragment and repair of the acute dislocation of the patella made an uneventful recovery with no recurrence of the dislocation. In those patients in whom the osteochondral fragment was removed but with no repair the dislocation recurred.
