Abstract

Fracture of Patella is rare and constitutes almost 1% of all skeletal injuries. Bilateral fracture of patella is even rarer accounting for 2.9% of all patella lesion. Very few cases of bilateral patella fractures have been reported in literature. We report the rare case of bilateral patella fracture in a healthy female and discuss the management challenges.
