    Notes: Abstract First described by A. Trillat, the double patella is an uncommon clinical feature following repetitive injuries of the extensor mechanism of the knee. The first injury is a tendo-periosteal avulsion of the suprapatellar or, less frequently, infrapatellar tendon from the corresponding patellar pole. Often these avulsions are misdiagnosed and therefore treated only with a cast or no immobilization at all. Subsequent giving-way episodes lead to extensive ossification which is adjacent to or separated from the patella. The peculiar shape of this ossification overriding or underlying the primary kneecap justifies the denomination of double patella. Surgical treatment consists of removal of the calcification and reattachment of the tendon to the patella by transosseous sutures.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Nous avons revu les observations et les résultats du traitement, conservateur ou chirurgical, de 125 — sur 172 — «genoux de sauteurs», suivis au moins 2 ans après l'apparition des troubles. Tous ces cas concernaient des athlètes exerçant des activités sportives diverses. Au moment de la révision, 15 d'entre eux avaient abandonné le sport et leurs lésions avaient guéri spontanément. Nous avons utilisé la classification de Blazina et coll. modifiée par Roels et coll. 24 malades appartenaient au stade 1, 42 au stade 2, 43 au stad 3 et 1 au stade 4. Chez tous les malades on a eu recours en premier lieu au traitement conservateur, sauf dans les ruptures tendineuses. Les résultats ont été très bons dans 42 cas, bons dans 32 et mauvais dans 43 mais 36 malades ont dû observer une longue période de repos et réduire leurs activités sportives avant de bénéficier d'une amélioration notable de leur état. Une intervention chirurgicale a été réalisée chez 16 malades (19 genoux), 18 étaient de stade 3 et 1 du stade 4. Diverses techniques chirurgicales ont été utilisées. Les résultats ont été très bons sur 7 genoux, bons sur 5 et mauvais sur 7. L'opération est indiquée en cas d'échec du traitement conservateur et chez les sujets qui ne veulent pas réduire le niveau de leurs activités sportives. Le but du traitement est d'obtenir la guérison au niveau de l'insertion osseuse des tendons. Nous insistons sur l'importance de la prévention du «genou de sauteur» chez les athlètes.
    Notes: Summary We have reviewed the clinical records and the results of conservative and surgical treatment of 125 out of 172 cases of Jumper's Knee followed for at least 2 years since the onset of symptoms. All were athletes involved in various sporting activities. At follow up 15 patients had given up sport and the lesion had healed spontaneously. We used the classification of Blazina et al [1] as modified by Roels et al. [12]. Twenty-four patients were in stage 1, 42 in stage 2, 43 in stage 3 and one in stage 4. Conservative treatment was used primarily on all patients with one exception where the tendon had ruptured. The results were very good in 42, good in 32, and poor in 43, but in 36 patients a long period of rest and reduction in sporting activity was necessary before a significant improvement was obtained. Operation was carried out on 16 patients (19 knees), 18 were in stage 3 and one in stage 4. Various surgical techniques were used. The results were very good in 7 knees, good in 5 and poor in 7. Operation is indicated after the failure of conservative measures and in patients who do not want to reduce their sporting level. The aim should be to induce healing at the bone tendon junction. We emphasize the importance of the prevention of jumper's knee in athletes.
