    RationaleOsteochondral fracture (OCF) in weight-bearing area of lateral femoral condyle (LFC) is a rare combined injury caused by patellar dislocation.Patient ConcernsA 15-year-old female student accidentally sprained her right knee while participating in sports activities. The patient felt pain in his right knee and limited movement. After hospitalization, the patients underwent computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance examination.DiagnosisAccording to the imaging results, patellar dislocation combined with OCF of LFC was considered in diagnosis.InterventionsThrough the lateral parapatellar approach, we reduced the osteochondral mass and bundled it with absorbable sutures of anchors.OutcomesThe functional and radiographic outcome were satisfactory at 18 months after operation.LessonsAnchor absorbable suture bridge fixation for this kind of OCF is not only effective, but also economical.Copyright © 2022 the Author(s).
