Introduction: Gap non-union patella fractures are rare but can be particularly challenging for the orthopedic surgeon. We report a case of a 12 cm gap non-union patella fracture in a patient with osteoporosis and its surgical management, functional outcome, and implications on clinical practice.
Case Report: A 73-year-old fully independent female with a background of osteoporosis was referred to our outpatient knee clinic.
