sito nera lapuose, tik cia.

M. post-traumatic arthritis. case on 2CK.
case where it sounds like patellar tendonitis (i.e. 2 years of knee pain, first worsened with basketball, but then progresses to more constant pain), but then they go on to say that patient had fracture to proximal tibia 30 year ago and has varus deformity of the knee.
ANSWER - traumatic arthritis, not patella tendonitis.
the implication is that the etiology for patient’s arthritis is ultimately linked to the varus deformity from the prior injury
