A member asked:

I dislocated my full knee replacement. does the joint break, or just dislocate and go back in place. it hurts in my whole leg from hip to ankle. but no swelling.

Dislocation?: Best to return immediately to your Orthopedic Surgeon or go to the OR. Severity of the injury cannot be chosen from a wish list. Your knee will need Examination and probably imaging. Please don't delay.
