Knee Fractures

Knee Fractures

Home - Conditions - Knee - Knee Fractures

Introduction

Knee Fractures can occur to any of the bones in or around the knee. The most commonly broken bone in the joint is the patella or kneecap. High impact trauma, such as a fall or car accident, causes most knee fractures.

People with underlying osteoporosis may fracture their knees just by stepping the wrong way or tripping.
