The chances of a recurrent knee dislocation depend on multiple factors, such as the original cause of the dislocation, your age, and any underlying anatomical factors like ligament laxity. Because you didn’t have ligament injuries and have a displaced fracture, the risk might be somewhat reduced, but it’s not negligible. Rehabilitation through physiotherapy is a key component to reduce the likelihood of re-dislocation. Strengthening the muscles around your knee, especially the quadriceps, can provide greater stability. Work closely with your physiotherapist to tailor exercises focused on stability, balance, and strength enhancement. It’s essential to follow a structured protocol — doing too much too soon can lead to complications or re-injury. For at-home care, always warm up properly before any physical activities and consider using a knee brace if recommended by your healthcare provider, especially during higher-risk activities like dancing. Keep a close watch on any signs of knee instability, pain, or swelling. It’s crucial to monitor these closely because they can signify an undue strain or early signs of another dislocation. Though you’ve started with physio and have a current flexion up to 90 degrees, aim to incrementally increase your range of motion, but only as comfortable and pain-free as possible. Regular follow-up appointments with your healthcare provider would be beneficial to track healing progress and adjust rehabilitation as necessary.
