A member asked:
What is the dislocated patella rehab timetable?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
4 weeks to 4 months: This depends on treatment type, severity of injury and associated injuries. If treated surgically, expect a 4-6 month time frame for recovery. If treated without surgery, return to activity can be anywhere from 4-6 weeks. If other internal damage to the knee ligaments or cartilage is present, recovery times can vary.
