After patella fracture occurs in the elderly, it usually takes three to five months to recover if regular treatment is given, but the specific time is related to the patient’s physical condition. Patella fracture for the elderly health damage is serious, after the onset of the need for formal treatment, usually after three to five months to get back. The degree of fracture, age, and physical fitness all vary, which affects the exact recovery time. Patients with patella fractures that are significantly displaced require surgical treatment with incision and internal fixation, which can result in a longer recovery time after surgery, around three months if the wound heals well. When the fracture site heals slowly or does not heal, the recovery time is relatively long. Once the symptoms of patellar fracture appear, the elderly need to pay attention to the standardized treatment, and actively cooperate with the attending physician’s treatment work.
