A member asked:

For post patellar dislocation, can knee supports really support the knee from recurring patellar dislocation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Patellar dislocation: If you do your rehab and utilize your brace you have a chance for recovery without recurrence, but you are more at risk for redislocation than individual that has not had a dislocation. There are multiple structural factors which come into play. This is something for you to discuss with your orthopedist
