Observations: Bony fragment in the superior lateral quadrant of the patella separated by articular cartilage with bone marrow oedema in accessory fragment and in intercondylar notch. The fragment is of similar size to the bony defect Interpretation: a patella fragment in superolateral corner the most common location for bipartite patella, appears i equal size of the defect Diagnosis: bipartite patella with edema Differential Diagnosis: Patella fracture Management: Inform the findings to the orthopedic surgeon. Further imaging with CT scan to exclude associated osteochondral injury/ Follow up imaging can be arranged if symptomatic treatment fails and surgery is required
