Figure 2 Patient imaging studies.
A and B: Simple radiographs in the two standard projections (anteroposterior and lateral), where the avulsion fracture of the TT is observed without apparent involvement of the articular surface; C and D: Sagittal sections of magnetic resonance images with T1 and T2 sequences, where the distal rupture and proximal retraction of the patellar tendon can be observed, maintaining its integrity; E-G: Computed tomography images taken in the axial, coronal and sagittal views of the bone window, where the displacement of the bone fragment, the eversion and 180º degrees of rotation of the same segment can be observed; the anterior cortex rotated posteriorly, confirming the integrity of the articular surface.
