Limiting movement of your ankle as it recovers is essential to healing and recovery. An ankle brace for an avulsion fracture may help, but your doctor will likely prescribe use of an orthopedic walking boot. This will protect the ankle and keep it stable so it can heal properly.
The symptoms of a patella fracture may include:
An avulsion fracture is where a small piece of bone attached to a tendon or ligament gets pulled away from the main part of the bone. Ligaments hold your bones, joints and organs in place while tendons connect muscles and bones. In an avulsion fracture, your bone moves one way and your tendon or ligament moves in the opposite direction with a broken chunk of bone in tow.
Indications for prompt consultation include:

The knee joint remains particularly susceptible to avulsion fractures due to its numerous tendinous, ligamentous, and meniscal attachments. An avulsion fracture involves the detachment of a bone fragment that results from the pulling away of a ligament, tendon, or joint capsule from its point of attachment on a bone.
Avulsion fractures are most commonly located at the inferior pole of the patella and often encountered in the pediatric population as patellar sleeve fractures. In the adult population, avulsion fractures occur at the origin of the patellar tendon and often cause disruption of the extensor mechanism [3].
A fracture is a break or crack in a bone that often results from an injury. With an avulsion fracture, an injury to the bone occurs near where the bone attaches to a tendon or ligament. When the fracture happens, the tendon or ligament pulls away, and a small piece of bone pulls away with it.
Nondisplaced osteochondral fracture of left patella, initial encounter for closed fracture. S82. 015A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Nondisplaced kneecap fractures occur when the patella is broken but hasn't moved out of place. In displaced patella fractures, the patella is broken and the pieces of bone have moved out of place.
