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.Entities:
