Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Bilateral radiographic progression of the supero-lateral fragment of a bipartite- into a tripartite patella with unilateral symptoms. An 8 year old girl presented a bilateral bipartite patella Stage III as an incidental finding after fall on the flexed right knee. Serial radiographs two years later revealed a bilateral progression of the bipartite- into a tripartite patella with complaints only on the post-traumatic right side. Observation was opted as therapy. There was no correlation of symptoms and radiological findings of the fragmentation of the bipartite- into a tripartite patella. Therefore we conclude the etiology of a bilateral late appearance of a third ossification center.
