A Case Report 16 18 EN Mohammad Mussa Rafiq Bhat Mohammad Yasin Nasir Muzaffar Bone and Joint Surgery Hospital, Barzalla, Srinagar, Kashmir, J&K, India JS2014215 10.12691/js-2-1-5 2014 03 09 2014 03 17 2014 03 18 We present a curious case of spontaneous reformation of patella/patellar tendon ossification after partial patellectomy. This is a very rare pathology that has been reported as a complication after sleeve fractures of the tibial tuberosity, total patellectomy during total knee arthroplasty, intramedullary nailing of tibial fractures, anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with patellar tendon autograft and knee injury without fracture. Patellar tendon ossification after partial patellectomy has been reported just once in literature. We present the second one of this nature. The patellar tendon ossification resembled a reformation of the patella and could easily be mistaken for an inadequate removal of the patellar remnant.
