Case of total knee arthroplasty for knee osteoarthritis associated with abnormal patellar tendon deformity suggests a report published in the Journal of Surgical Case Reports.
There have been no earlier reports of knee osteoarthritis with valgus knee deformity in which the patellar tendon infiltrates the tibial bone marrow instead of attaching to the tibial tubercle. A 73-year-old Asian woman had been undergoing conservative treatment, but the pain gradually worsened, and she was referred to our hospital for TKA. The patient had no specific history of trauma to the knee but had undergone a surgery for gastric cancer 3 years before.
