Isolated bilateral absent patella is seen very rarely. It is generally encountered as a part of nail-patella syndrome. An 18-year-old male patient presented with left absent patella and right small patella.

Identification of a novel LMX1B nonsense variant associated with congenital talipes equinovarus by prenatal exome sequencing: A case report.

Article Synopsis
- Congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) is a complex foot deformity influenced by genetic and environmental factors, often linked to disorders like nail-patella syndrome caused by mutations in the LMX1B gene.
- This study focused on a fetus diagnosed with CTEV via ultrasound, whose father had related symptoms, by analyzing the genetic variants through whole-exome sequencing.
- A novel harmful variant in the LMX1B gene was identified in both the fetus and father, suggesting a genetic link to the CTEV condition, providing new insights for genetic counseling.
Dislocated Extensor Mechanism in a Child With Bilateral Absent Patella Without Other Congenital Abnormalities.
J Am Acad Orthop Surg Glob Res Rev

From the Division of Orthopaedic Surgery, Albany Medical Center, Albany, NY.
Case: A 10-year-old boy presented with bilateral absent patella and dislocation of the extensor mechanism in the left lower extremity. He underwent a lateral release and medial plication of the extensor mechanism with a Roux-Goldthwait procedure, followed by casting and bracing treatment. The patient fully recovered with a return to sports and improved active range of motion.

Background: Isolated Patellar Aplasia Hypoplasia is a very rare autosomal dominant disorder. Its treatment depends on the clinical manifestations that can vary widely. The lack of active extension, which can be responsible for frequent falls due to a knee instability, is the most frequent and disabling manifestation.

High-throughput sequencing has become a standard first-tier approach for both diagnostics and research-based genetic testing. Consequently, this hypothesis-free testing manner has revealed the true breadth of clinical features for many established genetic disorders, including Meier-Gorlin syndrome (MGORS). Previously known as ear-patella short stature syndrome, MGORS is characterized by growth delay, microtia, and patella hypo/aplasia, as well as genital abnormalities, and breast agenesis in females.

A 2-day-old Cleveland Bay colt was referred to the Equine Emergency Service of the Farm Animal and Equine Veterinary Medical Center at North Carolina State University's College of Veterinary Medicine for evaluation of decreased nursing behaviour and right hindlimb lameness of 2 days' duration. When assisted to stand, the foal was unable to extend either hindlimb or bear weight on the hindlimbs, the right patella was luxated laterally and unable to be reduced, and the foal assumed a crouched position. Stifle radiographs revealed minimal, heterogeneous, ill-defined ossification of both patellae.
