Tibia Tuberosity Fracture and Patellar Tendon Rupture Combination in a Pediatric Patient: Case Report and Narrative Review.

A combination of tibial tuberosity (TT) fracture (TTF) along with patellar tendon (PT) rupture (PTR) is rare. We report a 15-year-old male who presented to our ED with acute knee pain and an inability to actively extend the knee after jumping during a basketball game. Diagnosis of simultaneous PTR is crucial as it changes clinical management.

Catastrophic Wear of an Acetabular Component Misdiagnosed as Total Hip Arthroplasty Dislocation.

Total hip arthroplasty constitutes the operation of the century, although not without complications, which require revision surgery due to loosening, infection, dislocation, and wear. Hereby, we report a rare case of acetabular shell wear misdiagnosed as a dislocation. Patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty with ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene are more vulnerable to excessive wear, and close monitoring can prevent this catastrophic sequence.
