The patella is the largest sesamoid bone in the human body and is located anterior to knee joint within the tendon of the quadriceps femoris muscle, providing an attachment point for both the quadriceps tendon and the patellar ligament.
Fractures of the inferior pole of the patella are a unique type of patellar fracture in which the patella is extra-articularly avulsed by the patellar tendon. Such fractures account for 5 to 22.4% of all patellar fractures [1, 2] and are usually comminuted [3].
