Successive ruptures of the ligamenta patellarum in a young Nigerian: a case report.
A 34-year-old Nigerian man had successive ruptures of the ligamenta patellarum repaired 2 years after the first injury. One knee was injured at a soccer match, the other 5 months later subsequent to a minor fall. There was no evidence of systemic disease. In spite of delay in effecting treatment, the outcome was satisfactory.
