Abstract
-
Autogenous bone-patellar tendon-bone is popular ligament substitute used in anterior cruciate liga- ment(ACL) reconstructions. Fracture of the patella is a rare but serious complication unique to this type of reconstruction. We report 4 cases of patellar fracture after autogenous bone-patellar tendon-bone ACL reconstruction.
