8) According to pediatrician Edward Gotlieb, M.D., posting in 1997 on the Web site MadSciNet: The 24-hour exploding laboratory, newborns do have kneecaps.

"Kneecaps form about the fourth month of fetal life. However, they don’t show up on x-ray very well because they’re not ossified, or bony. At this point in life, the kneecaps are made of a cartilaginous material. The growth centers surrounding the kneecap form late in developmental life in utero and may not appear until just before or just after the infant is born."

Dr. Gotlieb says bone growth may continue until the late teens or early twenties.
