Abstract
Stress fracture of the patella is a rare occurrence. Two types, longitudinal and transverse, are known. We report three lateral longitudinal fractures of the patella caused by running, Japanese fencing, and long distance walking. Patients returned to physical activities after 2-3 months of conservative treatment.Entities:
