Fractures. The most common bone broken around the knee is the patella. The ends of the femur and tibia where they meet to form the knee joint can also be fractured. Many fractures around the knee are caused by high energy trauma, such as falls from significant heights and motor vehicle collisions. Patellar fracture.
Surgical Treatment of Hyperextended Knee. If the knee hyperextension causes tear or rupture of the tendon, then surgery may be needed to repair it. One of the most common tendon injuries of the knee joint is ACL or anterior cruciate ligament rupture. These occur in extreme hyperextension of the knee joint. Injuries to the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) and popliteal tendon can also occur with a hyperextended knee and require surgery for repair.
