Dislocation of the Patella

You have sustained a dislocation of your patella (knee cap). You may walk on your leg as comfort allows. You must wear the splint fitted by the Emergency Team. You can only remove the splint to wash your leg daily. You must keep your knee straight when washing it and replace the splint afterwards.
