How Long Do I Have To Wait Till I Can Play Sports Again After A Minor Dislocation?
I was playing basketball today and I jumped and landed wrong. My patella popped out for a second and popped back into place. I can walk and bend my knee, but it hurts a little to bend. How long do I wait?

I had a friend who had a minor dislocation with his shoulder. He left it a couple of weeks before going back to play soccer again.
I personally wouldn’t go straight back to playing sports. I would leave it a week or two then see how you feel. If you are feeling the same, then go and seek medical advice.
Hope this helps.

You don’t need to wait. It might be supportive to purchase a neoprene patellar stabilizer wrap.
