A long time: When you patellar dislocation, sometime you may need surgery to get back in place after surgery you need brace for 6week , then p.T to strength the muscle. Good luck thank you.

Depends: If this is a 1st dislocation a brace and rehab are needed. 6-8 weeks recovery. If you are a recurrent subluxer work hard on your quads. A patellar training sleeve will help. Surgery is a possibility.
