We present a case of patellar fracture in a teenager that followed a soft tissue realignment surgery for patellar instability. We propose that this fracture was due to disruption of the blood supply to the patella as a result of the procedure. To our knowledge this complication, which has been documented following Total Knee Arthroplasty, has not been documented in the English literature before.
我们报告一例青少年髌骨骨折病例，该病例发生在因髌骨不稳定而进行软组织重新排列手术后。我们认为，这一骨折是由于手术导致髌骨血液供应中断所致。据我们所知，这种并发症在全膝关节置换术后已有记录，但此前英文文献中尚无相关记载。
