But sometimes they need a little help. ⁣⁣⁣Tips for reducing a dislocated patella:⁣⁣• have the patient sit or recline with hips slightly flexed⁣⁣• apply gentle pressure on the lateral aspect of the patella as you extend the knee⁣⁣ can pop it bavck in place• usually pain meds are not needed for the procedure, but, if the patient can’t tolerate it, consider a femoral nerve block or ketorolac⁣⁣• obtain post-reduction x-rays (AP, lateral, and sunrise)⁣⁣• give the patient a knee immobilizer and crutches - they should have follow-up within a week for early mobilization and rehab ⁣⁣⁣⁣#emergencymedicine #sportsmedicine #ortho #dislocation #reduction #foamed
