Whether or not a cracked kneecap can heal on its own generally needs to be judged in conjunction with the patient’s own situation, the degree of cracked bone, etc., and cannot be generalized.
The medical term for the kneecap is patella. When the patella is stimulated by external force or pulled by muscles with high intensity, it can lead to patellar rupture, thus affecting the stability and function of the knee joint.
When the degree of patellar rupture is light, there is only a crack without displacement of the fracture block, usually can be healed under braking, when the fracture is more serious, the degree of patellar displacement is large usually can not be healed, need to go to the hospital for surgery and other therapeutic interventions.
It is recommended to go to the hospital in time to see a doctor after the fall, after clarifying the condition, according to their own situation to carry out appropriate treatment, so as to avoid causing adverse effects.
