Will ace bandaging help my dislocated knee? temporarily?

Dislocated knee cap : If so, is better to see ortho. Dislocated knee caps will probably reocurr. Ortho will make suggestions to prevent this. If something else is dislocated , ortho can help as well. Ace band won't hurt. See ortho.

Yes: Be sure it is not too tight. There are other braces that are much better. Pt is also helpful. ?Is this your first dislocation? Did you have an MRI as this can be associated with other soft tissue problems. *****i assume this is a dislocated kneecap and not the entire knee joint as the latter is an entirely different animal so to speak!
