Résumé

A 31-year-old US service member presented with a patellar tendon tear that was repaired acutely with 2 biocomposite suture anchors. He presented more than 2 years later with a stress fracture through a suture anchor drill hole and was treated with partially threaded screw fixation. Stress fracture through a suture anchor drill hole after patellar tendon repair is a previously unreported complication. Surgeons should have a high index of suspicion and low threshold to obtain advanced imaging in cases of unexplained pain after patellar tendon repair.
