We present a case of a 21-year-old woman sustaining a traumatic [fabellar] fracture following a motor vehicle accident. The fabellar fracture was confirmed on plain films, which prompted further evaluation of the knee with ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging to evaluate other possible associated injuries. Fracture of the fabella is a rare condition. Clinically, patients present with posterolateral knee pain, edema, and limited knee extension. Occasionally these symptoms may be very subtle, delaying the correct diagnosis and patient management.
我们报告一例21岁女性在机动车事故后发生创伤性[豆状骨]骨折的病例。X线平片证实了豆状骨骨折,这促使对膝关节进行进一步的超声和磁共振成像评估,以评估其他可能的相关损伤。豆状骨骨折是一种罕见的病症。临床上,患者表现为膝关节后外侧疼痛、水肿和膝关节伸展受限。这些症状偶尔可能非常轻微,从而延误正确的诊断和患者的治疗。
