What is a patellofemoral dislocation?
A patella dislocation occurs when the knee cap pops sideways out of its vertical groove at the knee joint. It's usually caused by force, from a collision, a fall or a bad step. A dislocated patella is painful and will prevent you from walking, but it's easy to correct and sometimes corrects itself.Aug 3, 2021
What is patellar subluxation dislocation?
Patellar subluxation is a partial dislocation of the kneecap (patella). It's also known as patellar instability or kneecap instability. The kneecap is a small protective bone that attaches near the bottom of your thigh bone (femur).Sep 27, 2018
How does a patellar subluxation and dislocation differ?
In a patellar dislocation, the patella gets pushed completely out of the groove. The other type of instability is known as chronic patellar instability. In this type, the kneecap usually only slides partly out of the groove. This is known as a subluxation.
How is a patellar dislocation diagnosed?
Diagnosis. The doctor will examine the knee and diagnose a patellar dislocation after a clinical examination. X-rays are also done to confirm the injury and possible other injuries or fractures. Treatment of the unstable patella is first to ensure that the patella is not dislocated.
What is a loose kneecap called?
A loose, unstable, or dislocated kneecap is referred to as patellar (kneecap) instability. Kneecap displacement is common during sports, and is far more common among younger patients than older ones.
What is a patella?
The patella is a sesamoid bone: a round bone embedded in a tendon that shields and protects a joint. In the case of the patella, ligaments attach it to both the thigh muscles (quadriceps) and the shinbone (tibia).
Can you pop a dislocated knee back into place?
A dislocation can severely damage the ligaments, arteries and nerves around your knee and place the integrity of the joint and leg at risk. You should not attempt to pop the knee back into place on your own or treat the injury yourself.
What are the two tendons that attach to the patella and where on the patella do they attach?
The patellar tendon attaches the bottom of the kneecap (patella) to the top of the shinbone (tibia). When a structure connects one bone to another, it is actually a ligament, so the patellar tendon is sometimes called the patellar ligament. The patella is attached to the quadriceps muscles by the quadriceps tendon.
Why do my knees keep dislocating?
If you keep dislocating your kneecap
This often happens if the tissues that support the kneecap are weak or loose, such as in people with hypermobile joints, or because the groove in the bone beneath the kneecap is too shallow or uneven.

What is the most common mechanism of injury for a patellar dislocation?

Can you stand on a dislocated knee?
Can You Walk After a Dislocated Patella? Sometimes your knee cap will go back into place on its own, but it may also need to be relocated by a medical professional. Once the patella is back into its groove, it is possible to walk on that leg, but people often report a popping or unstable feeling in their knee.
What causes a patellar dislocation?
Causes. Patellar dislocations can occur either in contact or non-contact situations. An athlete can dislocate his/her patella when the foot is planted and a rapid change of direction or twisting occurs. Usually a pre-existence ligamentous laxity is required to allow a dislocation to occur in this manner.
