Article Synopsis
- The study reports on a 12-year-old athlete who experienced severe pain in the left knee during a jump, leading to a diagnosis of bipartite patella rather than a recent fracture.
- X-rays and MRI indicated an isolated distal pole injury, with conservative treatment involving a brace and a 12-week ban on sports activities.
- Follow-up imaging showed healing of the injury, ultimately leading to a retrospective diagnosis of a fracture or separation of the bipartite patella.
