The acute management of lateral patella dislocation is not entirely agreed upon in the literature. Some research suggests that immobilization for a few weeks is best, while others suggest that weight bearing as soon as possible is the most beneficial (Rhee et al. 2012). It is however, agreed that some form of walking assistance, such as crutches, should be used until normal gait can be achieved (Sillanpää 2010). For a first time dislocation, it is likely that hemarthrosis, or severe swelling, of
and, furthermore, a permanent end to the life the player knew before the incident. While not all concussions are that critical, every concussion has consequences.
