What is dashboard knee?

When you are in the front of a car during a car accident, whether it be in the passenger seat or as the driver and your knee slams into the dashboard, this is known as dashboard knee. Because of the impact your knee makes into the dashboard, you will likely suffer damage to this part of your body. In fact, it is not uncommon for you to find it difficult to walk for several days after an accident if you have suffered from dashboard knee. Also not uncommon is that you will likely find your knee has spots where you cannot feel anything; this may or may not go away. There are some people who never regain feeling in their knee after suffering from dashboard knee. They can still walk and use their knee as any other normal person, but they simply have no feeling in the skin on and around their knee area.
