I don’t think you can relocate a knee like you can a shoulder. I could be wrong but I would think it would require anesthesia and surgery.

You can, but it’s temporary. You’ll put them in a splint until they go to surgery. It’s a multiligamentous repair from the orthopod, plus vascular if there’s a popliteal injury.

You absolutely can. It’s a pretty easy reduction because the knee is floppy as every ligament is torn. As long as there isn’t interposed soft tissue blocking reduction, traction should get it in. And has been noted, next step is straight to the hospital to assess blood flow.
