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.
髌袖骨折在小儿创伤学中是一种罕见的病症。由于其罕见性和细微的影像学表现,其诊断具有挑战性,急诊医生很容易漏诊。早期识别和治疗这种骨折对于确保更好的治疗效果至关重要。我们在此报告一例8岁女孩严重移位的髌袖骨折病例,通过使用锚钉缝线对骨软骨碎片进行切开复位和固定成功治疗,在两年随访时取得了非常积极的临床效果。
