so, we've all heard of knee injuries, but a dislocated patella i think is a rarer one that i've heard of.  too bad it also fucks up the miniscus, mcl, and acl too.

yep.  koodos out to my boy please.  he just did that yesterday at the basin while (no claim here) getting of his ass and finally learning pretzels.  stupid inside edge.

if you know scott (you know. winn.  the 6'4" goon)... ie. benditto here.  send him some lovin.

i dislocated mine 2 seasons ago. normally it doesnt mess up the acl, mcl, or meniscus. it took about 10 weeks to heal enough to ski and about 14 to feel pretty close to normal. you just have to make sure you strengthen your leg so it doesnt happen again. ive been fine since it happened. good luck.

man that scares me cause i got acl surgery like 4 years ago n to do the surgery they removed the center third of my patella and made it my new acl. internally my knee is fine, but my patella hurts like a mother fuck sometimes so i  hope it doesnt dislocate.

it is quite ugly to see a patella dislocated its usually the quad tendon and the patella/tibial ligament that get fucked the most none the less its still gonna set him back a bit...let me know how he ends up this stuff is my major

I fractured my patella in July and am currently trying to get my leg back to normal.  I lost a good 3" in diameter on my thigh, so I've got a long ways to go.  Take care of it while recovering and I hope it all can be fixed ok!

i have that but its a constant condition that makes everything to do with knees painful. the knee cap moves laterally out of its track when you put pressure on it.  so as you can imagine your leg isn't strong structurally.

maybe if every skier with knee injuries mated with eachother, after millions of years of evolution we would develop super wicked strong knees
