Kneecaps, or patellae, begin to develop in infants and are typically present as small cartilage structures at birth. They usually start to ossify, or turn into bone, around the age of 3 to 5 years. By the time a child reaches their teenage years, the kneecaps are fully formed and fused with the surrounding bone structures.
