Stress fracture of the patella in a twenty-nine-year-old palmwine tapper is reported. The fracture occurred during a busy tapping day which was his first working day after a ten-day sick off for a febrile illness and presentation was delayed for six weeks. Initial diagnosis was pathological fracture, but X-ray examination and histology of the biopsy from the fracture site did not suggest any associated disease. The pathomechanics of palmwine tapping is very similar to jumping (parachute) which is the usual cause of this fracture in developed countries.
报告了一名29岁棕榈酒采集者的髌骨应力性骨折。骨折发生在忙碌的采集日，这是他因发热性疾病病休十天后的第一个工作日，就诊延迟了六周。初步诊断为病理性骨折，但骨折部位的X线检查和活检组织学检查未提示任何相关疾病。棕榈酒采集的病理力学与跳跃（降落伞运动）非常相似，而在发达国家，跳跃是这种骨折的常见原因。
