A dislocated knee typically occurs when there is a severe impact or trauma to the joint, often from activities like sports injuries, car accidents, or falls. This can lead to the bones of the knee joint—primarily the femur, tibia, and patella—shifting out of their normal alignment. Ligament tears and other soft tissue injuries often accompany the dislocation, further complicating the injury. Immediate medical attention is crucial to realign the joint and prevent long-term damage.
