A member asked:
My daughter had a kneecap dislocation 4 weeks ago. she is in physical therapy. there is no swelling or pain when she sprints/cuts. can she do sports?

Yes with brace: Need to know weather the dislocation occured expontaneosly or was traumatic.Is she knock knee?(genu valgus).Once the knee is properly reha she can do sports probably with brace on.If dislocations continue them consultation with ortho surgeon is recomended for permenent correction of the dislocation.

No: Returning to sports 1 week after a true patellar dislocation is definitely premature. Return to play depends on her level and urgency of getting back to her sports among other things... In general i would wait 4-6 weeks and simulate her sports in physical therapy before returning her to sports.
