Can you recover from fractured kneecap and if so- what is treatment?

Yes: The treatment is different based on how bad the fracture is. It can vary from non-operative to repair to removal of the kneecap. Your orthopedic surgeon will be able to give you more specific info, but yes, you can recover from it.
