Abstract
Superior dislocation of the patella is a rare condition. We report a 70‐year‐old gentleman with his patella lower pole osteophyte interlocked with the anterior femoral condyles after hyperextension. The patella was reduced successfully with proper reduction technique under sedation. The active range of movement ranged from full extension to 120‐degree flexion a few minutes after reduction. He walked unaided afterwards. There was no knee problem in two years of follow‐up. On reviewing the literature, only 20 cases were reported till year 2007 worldwide and 19 cases could be treated by closed reduction with or without sedation.
