Researchers in the Division of Orthopedics and Sports Medicine and Performance Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) announced results from a large retrospective study of patients surgically treated for Patellar Sleeve Fractures (PSFs), rare knee fractures that occur when a piece of bone and cartilage separates from kneecap.
