Patella Fracture
The patella is the bone that protects the knee joint. A patella fracture usually occurs from a direct blow or a fall on a bent knee. Treatment may include surgery to realign the bone fragments and ensure proper healing.

The patella, or kneecap, is a small bone in front of your knee. It protects the knee and serves as an attachment point for muscles. An injury can cause a break or fracture of the patella. The type of fracture depends on the injury and its location on the kneecap. The fracture is often classified by the pattern of the break. Treatment options include non-surgical care with a cast or brace, and surgical procedures like open reduction and internal fixation or partial/total patellectomy.
