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.
