Abstract EN
The fabella is a sesamoid bone that may contribute to the stabilization of the posterolateral knee corner and it can very occasionally act as a source of atypical and rare knee pain and functional impairment.
Fracture of the fabella is a rare but important clinical entity which may be overlooked clinically and radiographically.
However, it causes an intermittent mechanical pain of the knee and it can mistakenly harm another knee pathology like intra-articular loose body.
We report a case of a 21-year-old man who was sustaining a fracture of fabella following vehicle accident.
