I fell on my knee cap while playing basketball, but now I'm having issues straightening my leg. What kind of doctor should I see for this?
A good primary care sports medicine or a sports orthopedic physician would be a great start.
ORTHOPEDIC
I recommend that you see an orthopedic surgeon.
I would see an orthopedic doctor for something like that. Sometimes insurance will require you to see your family doctor first for a referral.
