broken knee cap due to quad

Recovering from ACL replacement – freak accident last weekend – stepped back and my knee cap broke – Dr said it was due to my quad being so stong – does this sound right?

    Could be. The knee cap isn’t a regular sort of bone… the way I understand it, it’s just a random piece of bone that exists on/in a muscle over the knee.. it’s not attached to any other bones. I would image that if you have really strong muscles it could be pulled and avulsed.
