Résumé

A 79-year-old man status post total knee arthroplasty (TKA) sustained atraumatic nondisplaced fracture of the inferior pole of the patella 1 year postoperatively. The patient had full radiographic healing and clinical resolution. Two years after injury, the patient reported new-onset knee pain and was found to have atraumatic inferior migration of the patellar component. The lateral radiograph appeared to demonstrate 2 patellae, coined "the double-patella sign." Nondisplaced patellar fractures after TKA should be monitored even after full osseous healing for component loosening. Inferior migration of a loose patellar component can mimic 2 patellae on the lateral radiograph, mimicking a double patella.
