A member asked:
My 19 year old son went surfing and dislocated his knee. can he go to a gp or must he go to hospital?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Imaging/Hospital: He will need imaging of his knee and assessment by Orthopedics. Place an ice pack on his knee and elevate his leg. Use a wheelchair or crutches to ambulate. Please wear a mask and use social distancing in the waiting room. Motrin may be provided for pain relief, but it is important to be evaluated.
