Symptoms
Patella fractures can lead to difficulty walking and serious pain. In general, you will feel very uncomfortable, especially during the first few days. Straightening the knee or bending the joint can be hard. Even when you can do these movements, there will be significant pain. Due to inflammation, bruising, and swelling around the affected area can also appear. This symptom can spread to your leg or even food. In more serious cases, the damage to your patellar could be noticed through the skin. There might be a palpable defect or deformity, which requires immediate medical treatments to prevent worse complications. [5]
