Rehabilitation time for injuries to the kneecap can vary depending on both the specific injury and the individual who suffered it. If the kneecap is fractured, rehabilitation time is usually six to eight weeks. If the kneecap is dislocated, rehabilitation time is usually 6 weeks (without surgery) to six months (if treated surgically).
