Andy Murray was born with a bipartite patella in his right knee, a condition in which the bones in the knee cap remain separated instead of fusing into one in early childhood.

Murray has been seen holding his right knee on many occasions on the court, and has sometimes pulled out of events to manage the pain. He has had to rely on pain-killing injections and pills to help him play despite the condition on many occasions.
