Core Tip	Sleeve fractures of the superior pole of the patella were rare in adults. We report an extremely rare case of an 18-year-old man with a bilateral sleeve fracture of the superior pole of the patella that occurred after a sudden fall while running. The patient’s physical examination, imaging examinations, and surgical procedure are presented, along with relevant images. Suture anchors, augmented by autogenous gracilis, provided secure fixation and achieved excellent results in this rare injury.
