Broken Knee Cap
The knee Cap is the triangular bone in front of the knee joint that protects the knee. A broken knee cap is usually caused by a direct blow to the knee cap or by falling on a bent kneel.
Simple fractures in the knee cap are usually treated with Splinting. More serious breaks are treated with surgery to insure that the knee cap keeps it original form to prevent future problems.
