The patella, also known as the kneecap, is 1 of 3 bones that comprise the knee joint. It is a relatively thick and strong bone that lends strength, stability and protection to the knee joint and its surrounding structures.

Accidents Causing Patella Fractures
Despite the patella being structurally sound it is still prone to severe injury in many types of accidents. These accidents can be:
Auto accidents
Motorcycle accidents
Falls, especially from high places
Biking accidents
Sporting accidents
Pedestrian accidents
Treatment Of A Patella Injury
In order to determine the extent of a patella fracture x-rays must be done. The severity of the injury will dictate the course of treatment. Sometimes surgery is necessary to repair the broken patella. Other times, such as in a hairline fracture, immobilization may be enough to repair the fracture. Immobilization is done with a brace or cast and will also help to keep physical discomfort to a minimum.
If surgery is required to fix your patella injury, that will likely entail a major surgery and will require the use of screws, pins and wires to keep the patella in place during recuperation.
After a severe knee injury you may face lifelong complications as a result such as arthritis, stiffness and pain.
All of these injuries, issues and complications may entitle you to medical benefits and financial compensation for your injuries. Working with an experience injury lawyer at The Tomalas Law Firm will ensure that your rights are protected and you get any and all benefits and sources of compensation to which you are entitled.
