    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Pediatric traumatology
    • Knee joint biomechanics

    Background:

    • Intra-articular patellar dislocation is an uncommon traumatic knee injury.
    • Prompt diagnosis and management are crucial for optimal patient outcomes.

    Observation:

    • A 12-year-old boy sustained a rare intra-articular patellar dislocation after a fall.
    • The patella became lodged within the intercondylar space, complicating closed reduction.
    • Initial closed reduction under general anesthesia was unsuccessful due to entrapment.

    Findings:

    • Operative reduction was performed using a parapatellar incision.
    • The patella was successfully repositioned by levering it into place without violating the joint capsule.
    • The patient achieved satisfactory functional recovery following the procedure.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering operative intervention for irreducible intra-articular patellar dislocations.
    • Minimally invasive techniques may facilitate successful reduction and preserve joint integrity.
    • Early surgical management can lead to favorable functional outcomes in pediatric knee trauma.
