An uncommon injury pattern requires surgical treatment. This study aims to understand the implementation of surgery in managing complications case of Osgood Schlatter Disease.Case Report: We present a rare case of complete patellar tendon rupture and tibial tuberosity avulsion fracture following a low-energy motor vehicle accident landing on his left knee in a 42 years old active male, who later discovered is having a pre-existing Osgood Schlatter Disease. This patient is treated with an open surgery fixating the tibial tuberosity using a single lag screw and eight tension wires, followed by primary repair of the patellar tendon, including its retinaculum.Discussion: Weakened structure from pre-existing Osgood Schlatter lesion may cause uncommon and profound injury pattern that requires surgical treatment. Conservative treatment no longer has a place in this case. The various surgical treatment methods have been reported; however, surgical modification technique is performed accordingly due to the complicated case presentation.Conclusion: Surgical treatment is the most suitable treatment option in managing this uncommon injury pattern complication of Osgood Schlatter Disease.
