injuries that many athletes and sports personnel
suffer from

• Fractures - The patella or the knee cap shields
  the knee joints and protects them during falls
  because of which it can break during an intense
  fall. Many athletes suffer from kneecap fracture
  and it is a serious injury that requires a long
  period of complete rest and at times even
  corrective surgery.

  or a doctor may have to do it using a sedative.
