Patella Fracture Injury
A Patella fracture, or broken knee cap, is usually caused by a forceful direct blow. The fracture may consist of a single crack across the kneecap, or the kneecap may be broken into several pieces. Simple Patella fractures are usually dealt with by immobilising the knee joint in a plaster cast for 6 weeks. More severe Patella fractures can require surgery to restore the knee cap to its original position.
Common Patella Fracture injury signs & symptoms:
- History of trauma to knee cap.
- Immediate intense knee pain.
- Immediate knee swelling.
