Case:
This case report aims to highlight a rare injury of a combined right tibiofemoral and patellofemoral joint dislocation. The patient was found to have a partial quadriceps tendon rupture, lateral and medial-sided soft-tissue injuries, and avulsion of the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments. Treatment involved lateral and medial-sided repairs, as well as repair of his partial quadriceps tendon tear, allowing eventual return to daily activities following extensive rehabilitation.
Conclusion:
Successful surgical repair and rehabilitation of a combined tibiofemoral and patellofemoral dislocation can restore stability and enable return to normal daily activities.
