Abstract

Ipsilateral fractures of patella and femur are occasionally seen in multiple trauma cases. In such cases duration of surgery, amount of bleeding and treatment modality have effect on rehabilitation of the patient and return of joint motion. In this article we present 2 patients, 18 and 52 years of age that were treated by internal fixation of femur and arthroscopically-assisted percutaneous fixation of patella.
