Question
I fractured my left patella head while racing with friends. Will it be difficult to recover? Could it lead to disability?
Answer
A left patella head fracture caused by trauma may result in limited joint mobility, pain, swelling, and abnormal joint movement. Based on imaging results, an appropriate treatment plan is chosen. Typically, through active treatment and functional training, disability can be avoided. During the recovery period, it is important to supplement calcium, engage in physical activity, maintain personal care, and adjust one’s mindset.
