Tibia-patella Fracture Posted: 07-10-04 20:29pm
My son just received a tibia-patella
fracture. It was repaired using 2
screws. He broke it playing ball.
Should this heal 100% or will he always
have problems.

Several months ago I had a knee surgery -
problems with the patella. If the surgery
was done successfully, I don't see any
reason why your child should experience
any problems. The 1st step is to find a
good doctor. The 2nd is to find a good
therapist who will do therapy and
rehabilitation with your child. I don't
know how serious the injury was and thus
how long the rehabilitation in your
child's case will last, but make sure that
your son follows his doctor's and
therapist's orders. That is of utmost
importance. If he lacks motivation, be
there for him and even exercise with him
if necessary.
