A knee dislocation occurs when the bones that form your knee are out of place.
The bones of your calf (the tibia and fibula) get moved compared to the bone of your thigh (femur). The bones of your knee are held together by strong bands of tissue, called ligaments. For a knee dislocation to happen, these bands have to tear.
Specifically, there will be a large amount of pain in the knee. Sometimes, there will be no feeling below the knee. If the knee relocates, it will become swollen. You may not be able to feel a pulse (your heartbeat) in your foot.
Knee dislocations are rare. They usually happen only after major trauma, including falls, car crashes, and other high-speed injuries.
