The first stage of dislocated knee recovery is protective rehabilitation. In this stage the objective is to ensure that the damage is reined in, and further damage is prevented. The knee is quite weak and hence activities must be kept to a minimum. This stage could take about 3-5 weeks. The second stage is the rebuilding and strengthening stage. In this dislocated knee recovery time for this stage could last from 2 months to 4 months. It is necessary that you do not rush the treatment and remain patient, otherwise you may end up damaging it even more. So it will be several weeks.
