Is Pain In Knees After An Injury An Indication Of Fracture?
Hello .I was playing football a couple of weeks ago and fell quite heavily on my knee. There was immediate swelling and discomfort, this lasted for a couple of days. The swelling has now gone and there is on minor pain when I bend my leg or apply pressure on it. Also there seems to be a large dent in the middle of my kneecap now. Is it possible to dent or is it more likely to be a break/fracture?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, the knee joint is very fragile joint as long as injury is concern and highly vulnerable to this particularly meniscus is the structure which could get fracture of tear very easily and for this better to get done the MRI study of knee joint, hope this information helps, take care.
