Being a tough guy might have actually paid off in the long run...

I dislocated my patella the end of January playing basketball. It popped right back in though, and I played in a game just a week and a half later.
Of course, I redislocated (and popped back in) it the following day in practice, and still can't cut or plant on it, so I don't know. But I don't have world class doctors or anything, so that might be a reason.
