Patellar dislocation: Dislocation of the patella (kneecap) is a serious injury that requires physical therapy to improve your chance of full recovery. Your orthopedic doctor can best assess what degree of flexion is to be expected depending on how severe the tendon was strained or damaged, and what the surgical appearance of your knee was.
