Treating a gunshot wound in the kneecap requires immediate medical attention. First, apply direct pressure to control any bleeding and keep the injured leg immobilized to prevent further injury. Avoid moving or manipulating the knee joint, as this can worsen damage. Once stabilized, transport the individual to a hospital for professional evaluation and treatment, which may include surgery and rehabilitation.

The first recorded person to treat a gunshot wound is generally considered to be the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates, who described methods for treating wounds, including those caused by arrows and other projectiles. However, more specific references to gunshot wounds emerged in the 16th century as firearms became prevalent in warfare. Notably, Ambroise Paré, a French barber-surgeon, made significant advancements in the treatment of gunshot wounds in the 16th century by developing new surgical techniques and promoting the use of ligatures to control bleeding.
