Resumen

La rótula baja es una enfermedad infrecuente, de causa congénita o adquirida, caracterizada por  dolor en la zona anterior de la rodilla y limitación del movimiento articular. La radiografía simple, en proyección lateral, ayuda al diagnóstico a través de determinadas mediciones; asimismo, el tratamiento conservador no resulta muy exitoso, de ahí que las modalidades quirúrgicas son más empleadas. Debido a la importancia de esta temática y a la escasa información disponible en la bibliografía nacional e internacional, en el presente artículo se comenta brevemente al respecto, con el objetivo de brindar información sobre esta enfermedad para que sirva como guía de trabajo. 

Palabras clave

rótula baja; alargamiento del tendón rotuliano; transferencia de la tuberosidad tibial anterior.
