What happens after the cast comes off dislocated patella?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rehabilitation: After a short period of immobilization, comes rehabilitation focused at strengthening the quadriceps muscles particularly the part of the quadriceps on the medial aspect of the knee. These are dynamic stabilizers of the knee and help with tracking of the knee cap.
