Abstract
The case of a 67-year-old female patient with persistent pain in the right anterior knee appeared after she had an accidental fall, is discussed. Laboratory tests and imaging were negative. Persistent pain required MRI. Based on MRI findings the diagnosis of patellar fracture responsible for knee pain could be established.
