How to wear the brace after a patella dislocation?

Excuse me, my son had a dislocated left patella outward in May while playing football. The maneuver was performed to put the same patella back in place, then having had no other damage, a plaster cast was applied to him for 21 days. After him he recovered very well and the MRI showed nothing but a slight distraction to the internal alar ligament. In order to resume running moderately we bought a brace that has an internal bezel, my question is this: DOES THE BEZEL BE POSITIONED EXTERNALLY OR INTERNALLY? I think that he goes outside because he has to compensate for the possible greater draft of the external alar ligament remained healthy. Thank you in advance for your reply. Thanks again, Marco Ribacchi

Dear, for the choice of the brace did you ask the orthopedist or the specialist of the health care shop for advice? Also because the professional who sold it to you should have explained how to wear it, or adjust it, … it was your right to have all the explanations. Having said that, the brace you purchased I believe has a band, which he calls the bezel, he may have two that should go over (the beginning of the thigh) and under the kneecap to support the knee. if you type in knee brace patella and look for pictures, you may see a model similar to yours. there may be, in other models, a band that rotates around the knee. one would have to see it to understand the model. I don’t know if I was useful, but the professional who sold it to you … he had to explain everything to you and maybe let your son try it out. a cordial greeting Elena Fossati
