Abstract

Osteochondral fracture (OCF) in the weight-bearing surface of the lateral femoral condyle, associated with patellar dislocation, is an uncommon lesion. We report three cases of acute lateral patellar dislocation with large OCF in the weight-bearing portion of the lateral femoral condyle. In patients with lateral patella dislocation or lateral femoral condyle OCF, careful physical examination, radiography and MRI are recommended to rule out any associated injury.
