What is a Knee Fracture

Treatment Options

In mild cases, a knee fracture can heal in 6 to 8 weeks. You might need to put on a splint or cast to keep this part straight and prevent motion. However, when the bone is displaced or out of place, surgery is necessary. There are many options to choose from, depending on the causes and forms. Your doctor will discuss this with you to make a suitable decision. [6]
