Answer 1

I broke my left patella (kneecap bone) right across the mid-section. First the doctors said that surgery was necessary, but the morning before the surgery they decided to put the whole leg, ankle to hip, in a full cast . The leg was fully extended pushing the two pieces together, so the two healed without surgery. Of course, each case is unique so this is only my experience. It healed very slowly and I was in that cast for nine months. Physical therapy was required.

Answer 2

My grandpa did nearly the same thing, but in baseball about 50 years ago, he still has walking problems because of it. It's never fully healed.
