FRACTURES ASSOCIATED WITH
PATELLAR DISLOCATION
Mechanism of patellar dislocation: Usually valgus
stress to the flexed, internally rotated knee on aplanted foot

Fig. 7: Irregular bony fragment lateral to the patella. This appearance should raise thesuspicion of a recent transient patellar dislocation

Fig. 8: MRI of the same knee in Fig.7. Axial PD (A and B) and coronal PDFS (C)demonstrating a large displaced patellar osteochondral fracture fragment (arrow

patella consistent with transient lateral patellar dislocation
