Baby Kneecaps
■■■■■
● FeaturedA surprising number of people recall being told or firmly believing that babies are born without kneecaps (patellae), which develop later.
●
What People Remember
Many remember being told that babies are born without proper kneecaps, and they only fully develop as the child grows.
◉
What's Actually True
Babies are born with kneecaps, but they are made of cartilage rather than bone. This cartilage gradually ossifies (turns to bone) throughout early childhood.
