What Is Knee fracture?
Types Of Knee Fractures
Knee fractures can happen in different parts of the knee joint and involve various bones. The type of fracture determines the treatment and possible complications. Here are the common types:
1. Patellar Fractures: These fractures happen in the kneecap (patella), the small bone in front of the knee. They can be partial or complete and may occur due to a direct hit or a sudden pull from the thigh muscle. The bone pieces might stay in place (non-displaced) or move out of position (displaced).
2. Femur Fractures: The femur is the thigh bone connecting the hip to the knee. Fractures can happen in the top, middle, or lower parts of the femur.
3. Avulsion Fractures: These occur when a small piece of bone gets pulled away by a ligament or tendon. In the knee, it can involve the patellar tendon, quadriceps tendon, or collateral ligaments. Sudden, strong muscle pulls or twisting movements often cause this type of fracture.
4. Tibia Fractures: The tibia is the shinbone, connecting the knee to the ankle. Fractures can happen in the top, middle, or lower parts of the tibia.
5. Fibula Fractures: The fibula is the smaller leg bone on the outside of the knee. It can also break in the upper, middle, or lower parts.
6. Distal Femoral Fractures: These happen at the bottom part of the femur, near the knee joint. They often affect the knee’s surface, leading to instability.
7. Proximal Tibial Fractures: These occur at the top part of the tibia, near the knee joint. Like distal femoral fractures, they can affect the joint surface and cause instability.
What Causes Knee Fractures?
Knee fractures can happen for different reasons, such as:
- Traumatic injury: A hard fall, a car accident, or a sports injury can put too much force on the knee, breaking the bones.
- Direct blow: A strong hit to the knee, like being struck by something heavy, can break the bones. This often happens in contact sports or accidents.
- Osteoporosis: Weak bones from osteoporosis (a condition where bones lose strength) can easily fracture, including in the knee.
- Repetitive stress: Doing the same movements over and over, like bending or twisting the knee repeatedly, can cause small cracks in the bone called stress fractures.
- Aging: As people get older, their bones become weaker. Older adults can break their knees from falls or even small injuries that younger people might handle without a problem.
- Medical conditions: Health problems like bone tumors or infections can make bones weak, increasing the chances of a knee fracture.
What Are The Symptoms Of A Knee Fractures?
The symptoms of a knee fracture include:
- Severe pain: You may feel intense pain in the knee, especially when trying to move or put weight on it.
- Swelling: The knee can become swollen and puffy.
- Bruising: You might see bruises around the knee area.
- Difficulty moving: It may be hard or impossible to bend or straighten your knee.
- Instability: The knee may feel weak or like it could give way when you try to stand.
- Deformity: In some cases, the knee might look out of shape or misaligned.
- Tenderness: The knee may feel very sensitive to touch.
- Numbness: You could feel numbness or tingling if nerves around the knee are affected.

Non-Surgical Treatment
Some fractures can be treated without surgery, especially if the bones are not out of place. Treatment may include rest, pain management, physical therapy, and gradually returning to weight-bearing activities.
Surgical Treatment
In more severe cases, surgery may be needed to realign the bones and stabilize the knee. Surgical options include:
- Internal fixation: Using screws, plates, or rods to hold the bones in place.
- External fixation: Using external devices, such as pins or wires, to stabilize the knee.
- Knee arthroscopy: A minimally invasive surgery to repair joint surface fractures with small instruments and a camera.
After thoroughly examining the knee and assessing the type of fracture, Dr. Nawaid Ahmed will recommend and provide the appropriate treatment options to ensure a fast and effective recovery for your knee.

Long-term knee problems may also have psychological impacts, including decreased confidence, fear of re-injury, or a reduced quality of life.
