Patient's question:
I'm really quite unlucky this year. I encountered a drunk driver when I was out, and I fell to the ground. Afterwards, a kind-hearted passerby took me to the hospital. I didn't die, but I did break my patella. The doctor recommended that I be treated at the hospital. With conservative treatment for the patella fracture, it hasn't healed in six months. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Recurring patellar fracture can lead to restricted knee joint movement, local swelling, pain, and abnormal sensations. If the fracture does not heal completely, further careful examination is needed to identify the specific cause. It could be due to the individual's physical condition, infection, or slow bone healing. If the recovery is slow, surgical treatment may be necessary. It is important to enhance calcium supplementation and perform appropriate functional exercises regularly.
