A member asked:

Is it possible to push a dislocated knee back into place after a long period of time has passed?

Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Unsure: A dislocated knee would not have allowed to to use it at all. I am guessing you are referring to your kneecap and tracking issues you are having. This can be treated and a knee specialist can help.
