Symptoms
People with a knee fracture might feel pain and discomfort around the affected area. This is especially true when they try to bend the joint. To avoid it, always make sure the knee is straight. Bruising and swelling around the front of the knee is also typical. This symptom tends to show up after a few days since the trauma. Due to pain and swelling, it can be hard to lift legs, walk, or stand as usual. In more severe cases, there might be a visible defect in the knee. Depending on the cause, the damage could be sometime felt through the skin. If you notice any of these signs, make sure to contact your doctor as soon as possible to prevent further complications.
