💥POP💥 Most patellar dislocations are lateral, and they often reduce on their own. 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
