bipartite

Ohtani learned he had left knee bipartite patella, a congenital condition caused when the bones in the kneecap do not fuse after birth, in February 2019.

There’s a workable comic framework in this bipartite structure.

A late-season knee surgery that repaired bipartite patella, a rare condition that occurs when the bones in the kneecap do not fuse after birth, forced him to step away from baseball activities for several weeks.

Recovery time for Ohtani’s surgery to repair a bipartite patella, a rare condition that occurs when the bones in the kneecap do not fuse after birth, is eight to 12 weeks.

This circumstance owes to the drama’s peculiar, bipartite structure.
