Disorders of the patella are the most common cause of anterior knee pain. The etiologies of anterior knee pain are reviewed. A case report of an acute displaced patella fracture in a bipartite union is presented. Bipartite patellar development, incidence, radiographic findings, and clinical symptoms follow. Treatment of excision of displaced fragment provides an excellent result.
