A broken patella can take up to eight weeks to mend depending on the type of break. If there are complications associated with the break or if the break is a compound fracture, this can take a little longer.

When swimming is it necessary to wear your neck brace if you broke your neck 2 weeks before?

This would be a good thing to talk to your doctor about, as I would guess you've been asked to reduce excercise until your cervical spine heals.
