A member asked:
Why is complete knee dislocation so rare?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Takes a large force: Fortunately it is rare for a real (not patella) dislocation you must be hit with enough force to tear all 4ligaments in the knee this is a severe injury with a poor prognosis for the future no matter how treated.
