Abstract
The report of a patella cubiti in a patient with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis is discussed. The following hypotheses are discussed: persistent separation of the non fused epiphyseal bone center with consecutive independent development; avulsion of the epiphysis due to muscle tension; and epiphysitis as cause of the new formed patella.
