Knee Dislocation
At London Knee Care, we provide expert diagnosis and treatment for knee dislocation, a serious injury where the bones of the knee joint are forced out of alignment. This condition often results from high-impact trauma, such as sports injuries, road accidents, or falls, and can damage the surrounding ligaments, cartilage, and blood vessels.
We offer immediate assessment, advanced imaging, and tailored surgical or non-surgical management to restore joint alignment, stability, and function. With expert rehabilitation support, we help patients recover strength and confidence safely after such a complex injury.
Knee Dislocation Care
Knee dislocation is a medical emergency and requires urgent evaluation. You should seek immediate medical attention if you experience intense knee pain, visible deformity, swelling, or if the knee appears out of place. In some cases, numbness, coldness, or loss of sensation in the lower leg may indicate a circulation issue, which must be treated promptly.
At London Knee Care, we perform rapid imaging and vascular assessments to confirm the diagnosis and begin treatment as soon as possible, ensuring the best chance of full recovery.

FAQs About Knee Dislocation
What causes knee dislocation?
It usually results from severe trauma such as sports injuries, road accidents, or falls that force the knee joint out of place.
Is knee dislocation the same as kneecap dislocation?
No. A knee dislocation affects the entire joint, while a kneecap (patella) dislocation involves only the patella shifting out of place.
Is surgery always needed for knee dislocation?
Not always. Some cases can be treated with joint realignment and physiotherapy, but severe ligament injuries may require surgical reconstruction.
How long does recovery take?
Recovery time varies, but most patients regain stability and strength within 3 to 6 months with guided physiotherapy.
Can knee dislocation cause long-term issues?
If not treated properly, it can lead to chronic instability, stiffness, or arthritis — which is why early expert care is crucial.
