We have some of the most reputable sports medicine specialists in our practice who are all passionate about using the latest, most advanced techniques to effectively restore the knee after injury. We treat patients of all backgrounds, from professional athletes to active adults, in our state-of-the-art facilities nationwide.
A kneecap fracture, or patellar fracture, is a break or crack in the kneecap (patella). The severity of the fracture can range from a small crack in the bone to a complete shatter. We will conduct a thorough examination of your kneecap fracture along with x-rays to determine the best treatment option for you. Surgery may be needed to remove any loose fragments of bone or wire the kneecap fragments together for proper healing.
