The points of differentiation of an acute fracture from a symptomatic bipar tite patella were also briefly presented. We presented the following case, to underscore the fact that an acute fracture of the superolateral patella can clinically and radiographically simulate a symptomatic bipartite patella (Class III 2 ).
