How To Reduce a Lateral Patellar Dislocation
Aftercare for Lateral Patellar Dislocation Reduction
Successful reduction is preliminarily confirmed by visible restoration of a normal knee contour and by decreased pain. Immediately immobilize the knee in full extension with a knee immobilizer or splint. The immobilizer should be worn for 3weeks. Repeat the neurovascular examination. Do post-procedure x-rays to confirm proper reduction and identify any coexisting fractures. Arrange orthopedic follow-up.
