I would see your doctor. There could be something more than a simple dislocation. You may need more than a brace. Better to be safe. It would be a good idea to be checked. The key afterwards is your rehab program. If this keeps happening then you may need consider fixing it. You must go to an orthopedic surgeon. You're just going to damage your knee more. My daughters did that starting when she was about 11. It happened whenever she jumped. The last time it happened it got stuck & the Dr's in emergency had to sedate her & slide it back into the groove. When she was 16 she had surgery to cut the muscle that was pulling the kneecap off. It's called a " lateral release" |
