However its occurrence after partial patellectomy surgery has never been reported in the literature. Case presentation We present the case of a 35-year-old Turkish man with a comminuted inferior patellar pole fracture that was treated with partial patellectomy. During the follow-up period his patellar tendon healed with ossification and then ruptured from the inferior attachment to the tibial tubercle. The ossification was excised and the tendon was subsequently repaired. Conclusion To the best of our knowledge this is the first report of patellar tendon ossification occurring after partial patellectomy. Orthopaedic surgeons are thus cautioned to be conscious of this rare complication after partial patellectomy. Introduction Patellar tendon ossification is a rare occurrence. Whenever reported it is usually associated with conditions such as conservatively treated sleeve fractures of tibial tuberosity 1 total patellectomy during arthroplasty 2 intramedullary nailing of tibial fractures 3 anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with patellar tendon autograft 4 and knee injury without fracture 5 . We report here a case of comminuted displaced inferior pole fracture of the patella that was treated with partial patellectomy. During the follow-up period the patellar tendon healed with ossification. To the best of our knowledge .
