# A Case Report of Patella Cubiti: A Rare Diagnosis

## TL;DR

A rare anatomical condition called Patella Cubiti was discovered in a patient with severe injuries, highlighting the importance of thorough imaging in trauma cases.

## Contribution

This case report adds to the limited literature on Patella Cubiti and emphasizes the need for further research on its clinical implications.

## Key findings

- The case highlights the importance of comprehensive imaging in trauma management.
- The asymptomatic nature of Patella Cubiti contrasts with its potential clinical significance in traumatic injuries.

## Abstract

This report describes the case of a 32-year-old patient admitted to the emergency room for polytrauma following a suicide attempt. During the clinical and radiographic examination of the right elbow, Patella cubiti (PC) was fortuitously discovered. This rare anatomical anomaly raises questions about its origin and its impact on the patient's clinical presentation. Despite the generally asymptomatic nature of PC, its association with severe polytrauma in this case underlines the importance of comprehensive radiographic evaluation when managing traumatic injuries. This clinical case contributes to our understanding of this rare anatomical variation and underscores the need for further research on its clinical implications as well as therapeutic management
