    Notes: Abstract Twenty patients (22 knees) treated by arthroscopic removal of the anterior tibial osteophyte were selected for review from more than 150 arthroscopic debridements of the knee over a 5-year period (1986–1991). All the patients were middle-aged active individuals with competitive sports activity in their past. Their main complaint was flexion deformity of the knee (t°-20°) associated with pain and discomfort in recreational sporting activities and/or in activities of daily living. Roentgenographic examination in all cases showed an anterior tibial osteophyte located just anterior and medial to the anteromedial tibial spine of the intercondylar eminence. No medial tibial spine of the intercondylar eminence. No varus or valgus malalignment or subchondral necrosis was detected. Arthroscopic treatment consisting of removal of the anterior tibial osteophyte by shaving and extraction of the bone, followed by a moderate notchplasty, was sufficient to improve the active extension of the knee and to decrease the pain and stiffness of the joint.

    The double patella syndrome (1995)
    Springer
    Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy 3 (1995), S. 21-25

    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.
