Bipartite Patella SOA Textbook
http://orthopaediccare.net/view/templates/Chapter_Entry.asp?uniqueid=5 ...J. Richard Bowen, MD Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children Wilmington, DE 19803-3607
The goals of this chapter are to describe the etiology, diagnosis and treatment of bipartite patella. Bipartite patella results from failure of fusion of an accessory ossification center which typically appears on radiographs between 8 and 12 years of age. Diagnosis is usually made by routine radiographic examination. The majority of individuals with bipartite patella are asymptomatic and often need no treatment. The initial treatment of a symptomatic patient is non-operative treatment. Surgical intervention is indicated after failure of non-operative treatment. Outline - I. Introduction II.
