When the history is ‘rule out lateral meniscal tear’ and there is no meniscal tear... look for IT band friction! [Edema between the IT band and LFC]
Can be associated with lateral patellar tilt (tight lateral fascia) and also greater trochanteric pain syndrome at the hip! 👀
🔹Neglected injury of patellar tendon after open fx patella
🔹7 months later presentation with retracted patella
🔹gradual descent of patella with ilizarove
🔹contralateral bone patellar bone graft to reconstruct patellar tendon
