Double-layered patella in multiple epiphyseal dysplasia: a valuable clue in the diagnosis

J Pediatr Orthop. 1998 Jan-Feb;18(1):123-8.

Abstract

Bilateral double-layered patella, a form of partite patella consisting of anterior and posterior components, was diagnosed in three children with multiple epiphyseal dysplasia. The literature on double-layered patella, its relationship to multiple epiphyseal dysplasia, radiographic findings, and clinical implications are reviewed.
