Patella?: This could be one of a few things, but my first consideration would be patellar burst fracture. It sounds like you may have landed upon your patella when you fell. This is the bone in front of the knee. It would surely give you the symptoms and findings you describe. An X-ray and/or MRI may help to elucidate this versus other causes.
