Abstract
Osteochondral fractures of the patella should be recognised early, loose bodies removed, and defects in the articular surfaces smoothed off, or the patella removed if it is extensively involved. Plication of the capsule on the medial side is recommended in order to prevent recurrence of the injury and to prevent dislocation of the quadriceps tendon. in cases where the patella is removed.
