Abstract
<h4>Case</h4>A 20-year-old man sustained a comminuted bone-patellar tendon-bone donor-site fracture 17 days after a contralateral anterior cruciate ligament revision reconstruction. Successful fixation was achieved by using a tricortical iliac crest allograft bone plug with mesh plate osteosynthesis. At 6 months of follow-up, the patient had full range of motion without pain.<h4>Conclusion</h4>Patellar fractures after bone-patellar tendon-bone harvest may be treated successfully with mesh plate osteosynthesis and a tricortical iliac crest allograft bone plug. This unique fixation option addresses bone loss and restores the extensor mechanism while avoiding autograft donor site morbidity.
