Popis:	We present an unusual case of open dislocation of the knee with coronal fractures of both medial and lateral femoral condyles. The patient was a 19 year-old woman who had ipsilateral femoral shaft and patella fractures. The ACL, PCL, LCL and patellar ligament were damaged. The injury appeared to be dashboard trauma with a violent force exerted on the right front of the flexed knee.Osteosyntheses of the femoral condyles, femoral shaft and patella, repair of the PCL and LCL, reconstruction of ACL with a Leeds-Keio artificial ligament and repair of the patellar ligament by McLaughlin's method were carried out. Early ROM exercises were emphasized, achieving a better functional result.
