Humans are not born with fully developed kneecaps (patellae). Instead, infants are born with a structure made of cartilage called a cartilaginous patella. Over time, typically between the ages of 2 and 6, this cartilage gradually ossifies and turns into bone, forming the hard kneecap that adults have.
