Question:

My knee popped out the side the other day. Is it a true dislocation?

I was getting ready to get up from my seat when I felt a tingling pain in my knee. I took a look at my knee and the skin near my knee was bulging out the right side. Luckily my cousin was around to pop the bone right in, since everything I was trying wasn't working and the pain was getting bad. So was it a true dislocation, you know the one where I need to go visit a orthopedic for.


Answers:

Its probably more likely a subluxation, but you should see a doctor either way. Dislocations can mess with a lot of things inside your joints.
