Quote:Of course not. You know I hate that, right? I actually have seen them do it - not normally, but able to put their weight on the injured leg. And I have dislocated both patellas four times each.
The whole knee being dislocated makes walking impossible, but just the patella popping out only forces a person to walk with a straight leg (done by rotating the hip). I know this from personal experience. So the terminology here is very important.
That's why they said dislocated knee and not dislocated patella.
