Abstract:
This is a rare case report of medial femoral condyle fracture
with irreducible incarcerated patella dislocation. Following
the literature search, only a few cases have been reported in
the literature. In this case, the patient had undergone open
reduction and screw fixation of the femoral condyle,
augmented with a distal femoral locking plate (LCP). Postoperatively patient was immobilised with an above knee
backslab for a month. After removing the backslab,
physiotherapy was commenced to improve the range of
motion and strengthening the quadriceps muscle. After 18
months of follow-up, the patient recovered well with a
satisfactory bone union, no episode of patella dislocation,
full weight bearing with an acceptable range of motion of his
left knee about 0° to 90°. He could squat, climb stairs, and
walk without any walking aid and returned to work as a food
deliverer.
