Knee dislocation and knee popping sound
I had dislocated my same knee "twice or thrice" when I was a teenager which was probably 8-9 years ago.
I didn't have any surgery after that as my knee got readjusted itself. Although my knees have healed ,my knee joints have been weakened.
If I walk for a too long, suppose 2-3 hours, my knees hurt. My knee also makes popping sound very often, almost daily. Although I can run, i prefer not to as I feel I might dislocate my knee again if I exert too much pressure on my knee.
.
I want to know that:
1)Do i need surgery to get my knee to normal?
2)Is there any other way to improve the condition of my knee without surgery?
3)Any other suggestions that you have?
When your knee gets dislocated, the structures around it, like ligaments get stretched and lax. Other soft tissues like meniscus might also have got injured.
So first step in treatment is to know what all structures have got injured/damaged? If they are intact? If they are lax? So to know all this information, best modality is to get an MRI of the knee done and consult Orthopaedic Surgeon as soon as possible.
Based on the report, we would be able to decide whether surgery is required or can get away without.
