Abstract:
We present an unusual case of Hoffa's fat pad impingement syndrome and chondromalacia patellae in the presence of a rare congenital crossed doubled patellar tendon. The crossed-doubled patellar tendon is exceedingly rare. It's relationship to other conditions involved in anterior knee pain is unclear; however, this case highlights potential pathological associations.
