The healing time for a dislocated knee depends on the severity of the injury. Most knee dislocations result in the tearing or rupturing of a tendon. In this case, surgery is most likely necessary. This usually has the longer healing process. The time period is usually about a year ..with the surgery and physical rehabilitation. Full recovery of the knee (return to the previous, strong state) could even take longer. The dislocations that may not require surgery could take 6 months. Again, total recovery could mean more time.

How do you treat a dislocated knee?

if the knee is still dislocated, straighten the leg out as slow as you can, usually this will relocate the knee cap, if it doesn't remain calm, call an ambulance, do not move this will result in grinding and damage to the bone, if the knee is already relocated then wrap your knee in an ace bandage the support the knee cap and prevent it from dislocation again, for dislocated knees the healing process is RICE rest ice compression elevation
