N2  - Fractures of the patella from impact loading, particularly from road accidents, are extremely common. The patella is also extremely commonly subjected to chondral fracture, not often seen in other joints. We propose to relate the pattern of bony fracture of the patella to its trabecular architecture and to relate the peculiarities of the functional anatomy of the patella to the ob- served high incidence of chondral injury.<p />
