Abstract EN
The incidence of fabella fractures is considered to be extremely low.
This report presents two patients with femorotibial osteoarthritis and considerable preoperative valgus malalignment, who developed a fracture of the fabella (as demonstrated by radiography) after total knee arthroplasty with intraoperative correction of the valgus malalignment.
Special attention should be paid to the fabella for not missing a fabella fracture in these patients.
