Abstract

Bipartite patella is usually asymptomatic. Painful bipartite patella is either non-surgically managed by immobilization, anti-inflammatory drugs and physical therapy or treated by excision. We report a case in whom locally injected bupivacaine and steroid (methylprednisolone acetate) injection relieved the symptoms completely in a case of bilateral painful bipartite patellae.
