What is Knee Fracture Treatment?
Knee fracture treatment involves surgical or non-surgical methods to repair a break in one or more bones that make up the knee joint, including the femur (thigh bone), tibia (shin bone), or patella (kneecap). Knee fractures can occur due to falls, car accidents, or other high-impact trauma. The goal of treatment is to restore knee stability, alleviate pain, and help the patient regain mobility and function.
Knee Fracture Treatment
Types of Knee Fractures Treated
Distal Femur Fracture: A break in the lower part of the femur, just above the knee joint.
Patellar Fracture: A fracture of the kneecap, often resulting from direct impact.
Tibial Plateau Fracture: A fracture involving the upper part of the tibia, affecting the knee joint surface.
Benefits of Knee FractureTreatment
Pain Relief: Helps alleviate pain caused by the fracture.
Restores Function: Restores knee movement and function through surgical or non-surgical means.
Prevents Complications: Timely treatment reduces the risk of complications like improper healing or joint stiffness.
Personalized Approach: Treatment tailored to the patient’s specific needs, considering their age, health, and type of fracture.

Recovery Expectations
-
Hospital Stay: Typically 2-4 days, depending on the severity of the fracture and the treatment performed.
-
Initial Mobility: Walking with assistance, such as crutches or a walker, usually begins soon after surgery.
-
Physical Therapy: Essential for regaining strength, improving mobility, and reducing stiffness in the knee joint.
-
Full Recovery: Generally takes 3-6 months, with continued improvement in strength and mobility over time.
Treatment options include non-surgical methods, such as immobilization with a cast or brace, or surgical intervention using plates, screws, or rods.
Individuals involved in high-impact activities, older adults, and people with osteoporosis or weakened bones are at higher risk.
Recovery usually takes 3-6 months, with physical therapy playing a crucial role in regaining mobility and strength.
Untreated fractures can lead to improper bone healing, joint stiffness, chronic pain, and loss of knee function.
