This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for patella that I've seen before include "Knee bone" , "Joint cover" , "positioned on each knee" , "bit of body usually under trousers!" , "A pallet (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the King Feature Syndicate, The Mirror, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Newsday, The Wall Street Journal, The Telegraph, The Times, The Independent and The Guardian.
