- Abstract
Patellar clunk syndrome is characterised by the formation of a fibrous nodule at the articular side of junction of superior pole of patella and the quadriceps tendon. Until now, it is only described in posterior cruciate substituting total knee replacements. We report the patellar clunk syndrome in a lady with patellofemoral joint replacement.
