What should I do if my knee is dislocated, but it hurts?

The reason for the knee misalignment to come back immediately but with a lot of pain may be due to the existence of joint structure abnormality inside the knee joint or the decrease of joint stability. Treatment mainly includes conservative treatment and surgical treatment.
1. Conservative treatment: including acute limb braking, ice, elevation of the affected limb, if necessary, brace fixation, etc.; in the recovery period, you can choose hot compresses, massage, microwave and other physical therapy; patients with obvious pain can use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as diclofenac sodium, paracetamol and so on under the guidance of the doctor; under the guidance of a professional rehabilitator to carry out rehabilitation training, to strengthen the joint stability, and so on.
2. Surgery: After dislocation of the knee joint, it will inevitably cause some damage to the surrounding soft tissues, and patients with more serious damage may need surgery. Surgery is mainly for patients with severe soft tissue damage after dislocation and patients with habitual dislocation who have not seen significant improvement after conservative treatment. The exact type of surgery needs to be decided based on the patient’s imaging results.
The same disease, patients with different physical conditions, different stages of the disease, different treatment methods, should be standardized treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
