【Abstract】Simultaneous isolated bilateral patellar
fractures are very rare injuries and most often associated
with systemic disorders such as hyperparathyroidism,
osteoporosis, stress fracture and kidney failure. Isolated
bilateral traumatic fracture of patella following an unusual
mode of injury is seldomly reported in the literature. We
reported such a case following a road traffic accident with-out any associated injuries or co-morbid condition. The
patella on the right side had transverse open fracture which
was fixed with two Kirschner wires following tension band
principle, and that on the left side sustained upper pole
comminution which was treated by partial patellectomy. The
patient achieved good outcome: at 6 months he was able to
squat and sit cross legged; at one year he obtained nearly
normal muscle strength and full range of motion. We dis-cussed the injury mechanism, management and rehabilita-tion in such a case and reviewed the available literature
regarding such a presentation.
