Bipartite patella, also known as Patella bipartita is a condition where the patella, or kneecap, is composed of two separate bones. Instead of fusing together in early childhood, the bones of the patella remain separated.[1] The condition occurs in approximately 1–2% of the population[2][3][4] and is nine times more likely to occur in males than females.[3][4] It is often asymptomatic and most commonly diagnosed as an incidental finding,[1][4][5] with about 2% of cases becoming symptomatic.[3][4]
