“…Anterior knee pain that originates from the patellofemoral compartment is a very common clinical symptom in young individuals [9]. Chondromalacia patellae is a well recognized cause of anterior knee pain and can be investigated by noninvasive techniques such as MRI of the knee joint or, less frequently, by arthroscopic evaluation [1e3,6].…”

Knee injuries in young athletes include not only the typical adult bone injuries, ligament and cartilage, but also the growth plate lesions. Osteochondroses are idiopathic, self-limited disturbance of enchondral ossification in which a rapid growth spurt is present. The patella could be affected by two different kinds of osteochondroses: Kohler syndrome and Sinding-Larsen-Johansson. Here we are reporting the first case of simultaneous location of osteochondroses of the two ossification centers of both patella. A 9-year-old boy, competitive skater, presented a history of anterior knee pain involving both knees. Standard X-rays, axial patellar view, MRI and arthro-MR were performed. In order to follow the natural history of the pathology and the evolution of the healing, examinations at 2 years were repeated. We proposed the young skater a medical and a physiotherapeutic treatment based on unloading, isometric exercises, NSAID. As the symptoms improve a gradual return to competitive sports activity was allowed. The case mentioned above can be considered an atypical case because the patient suffered for a bilateral knee osteochondroses, involving simultaneously the primary ossification centre (Kohler syndrome) and the secondary ossification centre (Larsen syndrome) of the patella.

“…13 Although this may be true in some cases, it appears there are occurrences of Type I bipartite patella, which represent a distinct entity from other possible causes. 19 Lateral retinacular release was not used in our three cases, but this procedure may hold proper indications for certain bipartite presentations. In 1932, Greeley described the theory behind its efficacy of reducing the stress on the fragment to increase the likelihood of fusion.…”
