A rare case of patella tuberculosis is reported. Clinical signs comprised chronic inflammatory pain, knee swelling and joint stiffness, with two years' evolution. Standard X-ray showed focal osteolysis with intact joint line. Diagnosis was based on surgical biopsy during arthrotomy. Treatment comprised nine months' antibiotherapy and bone curettage to prevent intra-articular extension. At 42 months' follow-up, functional results were good, without recurrence of infection.
La rupture simultanée du tendon rotulien et du ligament croisé antérieur est une lésion relativement rare. Son diagnostic peut facilement manquer lors de l'examen initial. Les options de traitement incluent la réparation immédiate du tendon rotulien avec soit la reconstruction simultanée ou différée de ligament croisé antérieur. Nous rapportons le cas d'une rupture combinée du tendon rotulien et du ligament croisé antérieur chez un jeune footballeur de 22 ans. Une approche de traitement en deux temps a été effectuée avec un excellent résultat fonctionnel.
