We describe a case of a superior pole sleeve fracture of the patella in a healthy 12-year-old boy and provide a review of the literature. Patella pole sleeve fractures occur primarily in the paediatric population, with inferior pole fractures more commonly seen. Superior pole fractures are rare, which may make adequate diagnosis and treatment difficult.
This case report aims to inform surgeons to be diligent of superior patella pole sleeve fractures and demonstrate the effective use of ultrasound imaging (as opposed to magnetic resonance imaging) in the diagnosis of the injury. Furthermore, this case report provides insight on diagnosis, treatments, and outcomes.
我们描述了一例健康 12 岁男孩髌骨上极套状撕脱骨折，并对文献进行了回顾。髌骨上极撕脱骨折主要发生在儿童人群中，下极骨折更为常见。上极骨折较为罕见，这可能使充分的诊断和治疗变得困难。
本病例报告旨在提醒外科医生注意髌骨上极套状撕脱骨折，并展示超声成像（而非磁共振成像）在诊断损伤中的有效应用。此外，本病例报告还提供了关于诊断、治疗和预后的见解。
