Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A kneecap (patella) fracture is a break of the bone located on the front of the knee joint. The patella is a sesamoid bone: a round bone embedded in a tendon that shields and protects a joint.

Detailed explanation-2: -The patellofemoral (kneecap) joint is made up of two bones: the patella (the kneecap) and the femur (the thighbone). When the knee bends and straightens, the patella glides along a groove on the femur called the trochlea. Some people have differences in the way the kneecap and this bone fit together.

Detailed explanation-3: -In most cases, mild patellar tendonitis heals in a few weeks. If the pain continues, a doctor or physical therapist can recommend further treatment options.

You may need to practice your sport less often or temporarily switch to a lower impact sport. Ice. Apply ice after activity that causes pain. 22-Feb-2022
