Slapping the patella isn’t recommended… For first time dislocators, it can take up to 6 weeks to heal, you should see a doctor for treatment options which will include evaluation of your ligaments for any tears and likely include PT, bracing, and other conservative measures. Some patients are chronic dislocators (there are surgical options), which this player likely is. The knee can be quite painful and swollen after a dislocation. #patella #doctor #patellardislocation #soccer | Doctor Myro
