Retrospective therapeutic study, Level IV.

For orthopedic surgeons, bucket handle meniscal tears (BHMTs) are particularly challenging lesions, because its rarity precludes experience and arthroscopic visualization is restricted by the fragment of an intercondylar location. To reduce the displaced fragment, treatment is oft en composed of changing the knee position and pressing the Background: The purpose of this study was to assess the intra-articular patterns in the rotational deformities of bucket handle

We present a simultaneous patella tendon avulsion fracture from both sides of its attachment in an ectopic ossified patellar tendon. Medially two thirds of the patellar tendon was detached from the inferior patella, and laterally one third of that from anterior tibial tuberosity with the patellar tendon split. Osteosynthesis was used to restore the extensor mechanism of the knee. The result at 46 months was good, even though there were some remaining ectopic ossifications in the patellar tendon.
