BJR Case Rep. 2023 May 25;9(6):20220049. doi: 10.1259/bjrcr.20220049. eCollection 2023 Nov.

Abstract

We present an unusual case of Hoffa's fat pad impingement syndrome and chondromalacia patellae in the presence of a rare congenital crossed doubled patellar tendon. The crossed-doubled patellar tendon is exceedingly rare. It's relationship to other conditions involved in anterior knee pain is unclear; however, this case highlights potential pathological associations.
