When you dislocate something it usually results in one side of the knee (in this case) being weaker. Standing up (you may have stood up and applied force to the outside or inside of the knee in a weird way to cause the knee to dislocate. If its a part of the knee it would most likely be your patella or knee cap (very common injury). If you think of a horses reins you pull on the right to make the horse go right the same thing with the muscles in the knee the lateral muscles of the knee pull the knee cap out . Or the medial will pull in. Physical Therapy is the only way to fix this (or surgery).
A dislocated knee occurs when the bones in the knee structure are out of place. Generally this can only happen after a major trauma such has a car accident, a fall or something that severely jars the leg. Your knee will look deformed, your leg will appear crooked and there will be numbness in your foot. When a dislocated knee relocates, there can be a lot of pain and swelling. It is advisable for you to seek medical assistance if your discomfort does not subside.
Yup happened to me, the doc said it was a dislocated knee but i am starting to doubt that from what i read. I also have a.c.l. and meniscus damage.
Yes, a dislocated knee would have a lot of damage done to it probably requiring surgery.
I had to wait a year between injuring my knee and getting and MRI and for the most part I had no trouble with day to day activities I disrupted my knee several times during that period standing up from a chair, and it would also happen sometimes if I did a deep squat or knee bend. My MRI showed a torn acl and a partially torn meniscus.
A dislocated shoulder or knee can be quite painful.
A knee can be dislocated as a result of a sudden impact and force directly on the knee. For example: a direct hit on the knee from a fall. It can be dislocated as a result of an awkward running position as well. Dislocations can also occur from medical problems associated with disease.
Yes, of course. If you mean much after it has healed, then it is not much more dangerous than if you had not dislocated your knee.
consult an orthopedic
