What Causes Swelling And Bruising Around The Kneecap Area?
Hi I was playing soccer two days ago and collided into another player with my knee. I noticed a slight swelling and bruising around the knee cap area. The next day i also noticed a hole in my knee. I do have some bruising but apart from that my knee doesn t hurt. What is the cause of the hole. Has a part of my knee cap caved in or broken?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is patella broken then this could cause such hole like lesion and this need to be sent for x-ray study and this is the only option you have, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
