Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The recurrent dislocation of the knee could happen due to weak muscles or an injury to the capsule to the ligaments. An MRI scan will help in finding out the cause. Let her use an elastic knee brace for 2 weeks to give a good support to the knee for proper healing.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Praveen-Tayal
