case_images: Radiographs and computed tomography (CT) showed small flecks of bone at the proximal tibial tuberosity (Figure 1).
case_images: (a) Left is affected side. (b) Right is healthy side. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed swelling and loosening of the patellar tendon.

case_images: We also recognized patella alta in comparison with the right knee with a Sugimoto index of 1.36 (Figure 3).
case_images: Operative findings. The patellar tendon was avulsed with sleeve fragment from tibial tuberosity.

case_images: fig4
case_images: During the operation, we found that the patellar tendon was avulsed with a sleeve fragment from the tibial tuberosity (Figure 4).
case_images: The avulsed tendon was repaired using two suture anchors, and fragment including cartilage was attached by tension band wiring method.
