We read with great interest the case report entitled “Locking knee after intra-articular migration of broken patella tension band wire: an extraordinary intraarticular migration via pseudarthrosis line”[1] in the 2013;47(6):444-447 issue of Acta Orthop Traumatol Turc, and we congratulate the authors on their management of the case. However, we would like to make some comments which we believe will contribute to this study: 1. The authors of the case report state that; a) specific to patella wires, only one case of intra-articular migration of a broken patella wire has been published in the literature, namely by Chen et al.,[1,2] and b) to the best of their knowledge, their case is the first documented case of patella wire migration intra-articularly via a pseudarthrosis line. [1] However, we would like to draw attention to one other study related to this complication.[
