🦴 Adult Knee Fracture: Recognise the Signs and Get the Right Treatment
A knee fracture can make even simple activities like standing, walking, or climbing stairs difficult.
In adults, fractures around the knee can occur due to road accidents, falls, sports injuries, or a strong direct impact.
Depending on the injury, the fracture may involve the kneecap (patella), the upper part of the shin bone (tibial plateau), or the lower end of the thigh bone (distal femur).
What symptoms should you watch for?
Severe pain around the knee
Swelling or bruising
Difficulty bending or straightening the knee
Inability or difficulty bearing weight
Changes in the shape or appearance of the knee
Does a knee fracture always require surgery?
No. Some fractures can be treated with a brace or immobilisation, while others may need surgery to restore bone alignment and stability.
The treatment decision depends on the fracture pattern, displacement, joint involvement, and overall health of the individual.
If you have experienced a fall, accident, or knee injury with significant pain and swelling, seek prompt medical evaluation. Avoid forcing movement or walking on the injured leg.
Consult Dr. Jaswinder Singh for orthopaedic evaluation and knee fracture treatment.
