Go to the ER: A true knee dislocation is related to trauma and a medical emergency that is highly associated with vascular and nerve injuries. Typically the patient presents to the er for further evaluation which may include a vascular study to look for vessel injury. A transient patellar dislocation is not a medical emergency. Tx often begins non operatively with vastus medialis strengthening and bracing.

See your Doctor: If you have had a knee injury and are worried that it may be a possible dislocation, then please have your knee evaluated by your Doctor, or ask for a referral to a specialist. If you do not have a Doctor, you can go to an Urgent Care center near you. Even if your knee is not dislocated, you may have serious damage to other structures in your knee causing the same sensations.
