A member asked:
How long will a dislocated patella take to heal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: Initial dislocations without significant associated injuries can recover in 4- 6 weeks. Recurrent dislocations or those associated with other injuries may take longer or require surgical treatment to fully recover. Often partial recovery occurs in which one can perform activities in a brace but some symptoms may persist.
