X-ray and MRI after luxation of the<unk>  There is a fragment and bone bruise at the medial surface of the<unk> and in the corresponding surface of the lateral condyle of the femur. The medial retinaculum of the<unk> is disrupted. Two types of treatment options are typically available: * Surgery * Conservative treatment (rehabilitation and physical therapy) Surgery may impede normal growth of structures in the knee, so doctors generally do not recommend knee operations for young people who are still growing. There are also risks of complications, such as an adverse reaction to anesthesia or an infection. When designing a rehabilitation program, clinicians consider associated injuries such as chipped bones or soft tissue tears. Clinicians take into account the person's age, activity level, and time needed to return to work and/or athletics. Doctors generally only recommend surgery when other structures in the knee have sustained severe damage, or specifically when there is: * Concurrent osteochondral injury * Continued gross instability * Palpable disruption of the medial patellofemoral ligament and the vastus medialis obliquus * High-level athletic demands coupled with mechanical risk factors and an initial injury mechanism not related to contact Supplements like glucosamine and NSAIDs can be used to minimize bothersome symptoms. Rehabilitation An effective rehabilitation program reduces the chances of re-injury and of other knee-related problems such as patellofemoral pain syndrome and osteoarthritis. Most<unk> s are initially immobilized for the first 2–3 weeks to allow the stretched structures to heal. Rehabilitation focuses on maintaining strength and range of motion to reduce pain and maintain the health of the muscles and tissues around the knee joint. The objective of any good rehabilitation program is to reduce pain, swelling and stiffness as well as increase range of motion. A common rehabilitation plan is to strengthen both the hip abductors, hip external rotators and the quadricep muscles. Commonly used exercises include isometric quadricep sets, side lying clamshells, leg dips with internal tibial rotation, etc. The idea is that because the medial side is most often stretched by the more common lateral dislocation, medial strengthening will add more stabilizing support. With progression more intense range of motion exercises are incorporated.
