**Caption:** “Ever wonder how a patella dislocates? 🤔 Let’s break it down! The patella, or kneecap, sits in a groove at the lower end of the thigh bone and slides up and down when you bend or straighten your knee. However, a sudden twist or direct blow can force the patella out of this groove, causing it to dislocate. This often happens during sports or activities that involve quick direction changes or impact. If you’ve experienced a patella dislocation, seek medical attention for proper treat

Slapping the patella isn’t recommended… For first time dislocators, it can take up to 6 weeks to heal, you should see a doctor for treatment options which will include evaluation of your ligaments for any tears and likely include PT, bracing, and other conservative measures. Some patients are chronic dislocators (there are surgical options), which this player likely is. The knee can be quite painful and swollen after a dislocation. #patella #doctor #patellardislocation #soccer | Doctor Myro
