ABSTRACT
Patellar fractures in children occur rarely in approximately 1% of all pediatric fractures and 57% of these are osteochondral or cartilaginous avulsion fractures, a type of sleeve fracture. They may be missed in diagnosis due to small bony fragment on simple radiographs, and they always occur ipsilaterally; however, only a few cases of bilateral patellar fracture of the inferior pole have been reported. We experienced an 11 year-old patient an athlete, who suffered repetitive minor trauma, with a stress fracture, which occurred at the inferior pole of the patella bilaterally, and we report on this unusual case with a literature review.
