  ABSTRACT: We present this unusual fracture in order to stress the importance of being aware of the existence of open fractures of patella in 2-year-old child. Fractures of the patella are rare in children, as the patella is largely cartilaginous and has great mobility. Normally in this age closed patellar fractures cannot be diagnosed radiologically as the ossification starts only after 3 years of age. Our case is an open transverse patellar fracture in a two-year-old girl which is treated with transcartilagenous absorbable sutures, which is not found reported in the literature.
