Journal of Orthopaedic Case Reports 2018 January
Introduction: Osteoarthritis knee associated with periarticular fractures (femur, tibia, or patella) in geriatric patients is a treatment challenge for orthopedic surgeon. In geriatric patient, early mobilization is key for a better outcome and to prevent immobilization related complications. Hence, this case report is important for all orthopedic surgeons.
Case Report: We had a 65-year-old male patient who came for the treatment ofhis patella fracture and deformity ofboth knees.
Conclusion: Elderly patients who sustained a patella fracture can be treated with single stage primary total knee replacement and fixation of patella fracture. There is no need for two stage surgery. Rehabilitation and pain relief along with mobilization is better with single stage surgery.
