Abstract
A new operative technique for painful bipartite patellae was described in which the painful patellar fragment is released subperiosteally while vastus lateralis tendon and lateral retinaculum are kept attached to the main patellar bone. The procedure was applied for removal of the bone fragment in 3 knees and for release alone in 8 knees. Early return to sport activities with prompt relief of pain was noted in all cases postoperatively.
