Abstract:
Patella infera is an uncommon but potentially crippling pathology of the knee, resulting in stiffness and anterior knee pain. Several surgical methods have been described for its treatment, but there remains no clear technique of choice. We present the case of a 63-year-old male with patella infera, affecting a native knee, following Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. This patient was treated with a combined technique of Patellar Tendon lengthening and partial Hourglass Extensor Mechanism Allograft reconstruction. The results were excellent at 24 months of follow-up. To our knowledge, this technique has not yet been published, and we present it as a promising treatment option in selected cases.
