Knee Fractured Kneecap Treatment
Fractured kneecap injury happens when there is a break in the patella (kneecap). The patella (kneecap) is a large, movable bone at the front of the knee.
Nondisplaced fractures are typically treated without surgery. If the patella is in pieces, then one will need surgery.
