Abstract

A rare sport injury having patellar fracture and anterior cruciate ligament avulsion fracture is being reported. This case was noteworthy as it involved rare combination of two separate injuries often seen in sportsmen. Our experience with operative intervention and postoperative rehabilitation with a supervised physiotherapy regimen has yielded good results.

Key words

Patellar fracture - anterior cruciate ligament - anterior tibial eminence
