Knee fractures account for 1.5-2.2% of all skeletal injuries. While fractures of the patella without displacement are treated conservatively by applying a deep posterior plaster cast with a "drying" cast placed on the anterior surface of the joint, displaced fractures require surgical intervention. In the case of multiple comminuted and fractured patellar fractures with displacement, in which it is impossible to bring all fragments together using P-shaped lavsan or sutures, the best outcomes can be achieved by endoprosthesis, that is, removal of the entire fractured patella and replacing it with an endoprosthesis. In this report, we would like to share our experience with patellar endoprosthesis according to G.S. Samoilov performed for a multiaxial fracture in the hospital.
