Abstract
- Sleeve fractures of the patella are cartilaginous avulsion fractures from the lower pole of the patella. They occur mainly due to sports injuries in adolescents. They may be missed in diagnosis due to rare incidence and small bony fragment on simple radiographs. In this report, an unusual bilateral simultaneous sleeve fracture in a healthy child is described.
