ABSTRACT

Chondral lesions are more frequent every day, if not treated properly, they can cause serious sequelae. We present the case of a 15-year-old male patient with grade 3 modified Outerbridge chondral injury on the patella, secondary to a traumatic patellar dislocation. Medial patellofemoral ligament repair was performed and the chondral fragment was reimplanted with suture anchors on a clot base. At fourt months of follow-up. The outcome has been satisfactory results without pain, and with complete range of motion. The aim of this report is to present a clinical case of a patient with a cartilage injury, its treatment and postoperative results.
