A member asked:
Fell down flight stairs mth ago physio thinks broke knee cap into pieces but got numbness & some pain rather than severe pain is this possible?

Knee cap: Depends upon amount of force which occurred. Can u lift your leg with the knee out straight and hold it up against some resistance? If so it's unlikely to be in pieces , .. However the best way to determine is to be seen and get an X-ray of your knee.
