Treating patella fractures through targeted soft-tissue control
Championing a Universal Goal: Faster Healing
Endeavor Orthopaedics began with a problem every trauma surgeon recognizes: patella fracture fixation has historically carried reoperation rates that surgeons, institutions and patients wouldn't accept anywhere else in the body.
Endeavor’s Summit™ Patella Plating System is specifically designed to offload deforming forces and treat the entire extensor mechanism, bone and soft tissue, in a single implant to help reduce failures and repeat surgeries.

Supporting Surgeons with Construct Reliability
Trauma surgeons operate under constant pressure: unpredictable case volume, tight OR windows and fractures that often combine bone injury with the kind of soft-tissue forces that can undo an otherwise well-executed repair. In fractures like these, even meticulous technique can't fully offset hardware that wasn't built to counteract that ongoing tension. Endeavor is committed to fixing that.
Benefits of Endeavor’s Summit™ system for surgeons:
- Pre-attached sutures and a proprietary tensioning mechanism let you capture and secure the tendon in seconds
- Every implant, suture and instrument needed for the case ships in a single sterile kit
- Thinnest patella plate on the market at 1.25mm
- Up to 40% fewer reoperation rates*
Institutions
Partnering with Institutions for Improved Efficiency
Surgery managers know the drill: once a case is scheduled, instrument trays must be ordered, tracked, sterilized and then reprocessed between cases. All of this puts pressure on OR time, staff, budgets and supply chain. For institutions weighing cost, safety and standardization, Endeavor’s sterile, ready-to-use surgical kit can help you achieve a more predictable product and price per procedure, without compromising quality or outcomes.
Benefits of Endeavor’s Summit™ system for healthcare organizations:
- A sterile, ready-to-implant single-use surgical kit
- Requires no hospital processing
- Lower total cost of ownership
- Built-in sutures commonly save up to 30 minutes in the OR
“Before Endeavor, my team spent real time every week tracking, sterilizing and double-checking instrument trays, and a single missing or non-sterile tray could cancel a case outright. With Endeavor's single-use, sterile kits, that risk is just gone. We get predictable costs and one less thing that can go wrong on case day, without sacrificing the outcomes our surgeons expect."
Patients
Enhancing Recovery & Outcomes for Patients
Patients facing trauma surgery for patella fracture repair—whether from the classic “dashboard injury” in motor vehicle collisions to sports injuries like skiing accidents and even simple falls in older adults with low bone density—often face a long road to recovery.
That’s because traditional approaches to fixation don’t address the full scope of the injury and are especially prone to complications. Endeavor’s technology is designed to treat the bone and tendon together, creating a more stable healing environment.
Benefits of Endeavor’s Summit™ system for patients:
- A quicker return to previous level of function
- Less than 5% reoperation rate
- Improved outcomes
- Higher satisfaction rates
“After my car accident, I was terrified I'd never move the same way again. My surgeon explained that my patella fracture would be prone to complications or reoperation because of how the quad and tendon pulls on the bone, which impacts healing. With the Endeavor Summit™ system, that was no longer a worry. I got back to walking and to my normal activities—faster and with way more confidence than I expected.”
