Questions i should ask os on upcoming initial appt s/p patella fx on 11/27/13. any and all advice greatly appreciated. thank you in advance!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Patella fx: Get a xray and ask how bone is healing. Its early in the healing but ask when you can move your knee and what type of exercises you can do. It takes about 6 weeks for the fracture to heal so there may not be much to do until that time.
