The patella develops as an aggregation of the deeper three –fifths of the quadriceps substance. The patella is thus an intramuscular element which has secondarily acquired a free articular surface. The patella in children is particularly cartilaginous with ossification only beginning between 3-6 years of age. Ossification occurs in small islands that expand to the periphery.
