A 29-year-old male suffering from an indirect injury of the right patella. The initial radiograph shows a displaced transverse fracture of the patella. Postoperative radiographs reveal no intra-articular stepping and no displacement of the fracture site. The fracture healed within 3 months. Physical examination shows 0–130° of knee motion without pain. The ROM difference is −20°. Eventually, the patient gained full motion in 6 months
