- Educational video describing conditions and treatment of patellar dislocation.
The patella is a protective bone located in front of the knee joint. The patella is attached to the quadriceps muscle through the quadriceps tendon. The patella facilitates the function of the quadriceps to straighten the knee. The patella lies within the patellofemoral groove. This groove allows the patella to slide vertically with normal movement of the knee joint.
Dislocation of the patella occurs from the patella sliding laterally out of its position on the knee. It may occur from a blow to the knee, acute trauma or severe twisting of the knee.
In majority of the cases dislocation is associated with pain, swelling and a lump on the lateral side or outer side of the knee.
The patella will usually relocate by itself back into the normal position in the groove as the patient straightens the knee.
Sunrise view demonstrates lateral dislocation of the patella. X-rays should be carefully evaluated for the presences of osteochondral fragments displaced within the knee joint.
Mechanism of patellar dislocation:
•Medial patellofemoral ligament failure.
•Lateral dislocation of the patella may also cause direct impaction injury to both the medial patella and lateral femoral condyle.
Causes of patellar dislocation
•Weak VMO muscle (vastus medialis oblique).
•Large Q angle ( normal male 14- female 17)
•Excessive foot pronation
•Patella alta
•Genu valgum (knock knee)
Treatment
•First episode is treated nonoperatively unless there is a loose fragment inside the joint which should be removed surgically
•Use knee immobilizer or a brace for 2-3 weeks to allow medial structures and ligament to heal.
•Quadriceps strengthening exercises.
Complications
•50% of the patients treated conservatively will have recurring episodes of instability and some patients will require surgery.
•Common complication of patellar dislocation is chondromalacia.

Just came here to say keep on exercising don't give up, it prevents your knee from getting dislocated.
I stopped exercising for a while thinking my knee is fine and back to being normal but today it dislocated again, it hurts so bad.
Don't stop exercising no matter how strong you feel you are.🙂💐
I dislocated my left knee twice, first when dancing at age 17, and again at age 21 whilst wearing a knee guard. I had ligament transplant surgery that same year. I am now 63, and no more dislocations. I have learned to adapt automatically to some of the permanent limitations from the surgery, mainly the lack of " suspension " in the joint. I still dance in community theatre. And although I have not been able to do some simple activities due to the lack of spring in my joint, I am ever grateful that I have been dislocation free for over 40 years now 🙏
I’m 14 and just dislocated mine knee cap and very hight active in sports do you think I’ll be back?
@@susfrank2x372 I am so sorry to hear. I had to see an Orthopaedic Specialist/Surgeon. All in all I have had 3 surgeries to that knee. A second one about 8 months after my main procedure when I underwent a ligament transplant. By body began to reject the attachment screw. By then the ligament had ( thankfully ) knitted successfully. My third op was when I was 41. Done by a different Specialist, who removed debridement ( floating scar tissue and bits of loose cartilage) that broken loose over the years.
Depending on your immediate recovery from your dislocation, it may be a good idea to see a Specialist. He/she will be in a better position to assess you and advise you better with regards to your sports activities. I had a reoccurring dislocation in my early 20s, from dancing. I was a leed dancer in theatre at the time, and I was referred to an Orthopedic Specialist.
You are young, and hopefully with good intervention, you may still be able to enjoy your sports. I wish you well 💐
im 18 and week ago i dislocated my knee also while dancing(dancing is best thing in the world) im now in recovery still the doctor hasnt told me what will happend to me but i rly hope i will be able to dance and do all those things without ever experiencing that pain again.. i rly want to give my bast in recovery, i dont know if it will never happen to me but i will try my best.. do u think that while doing the things i enjoy without limiting my self i may not ever experience this if i work hard enough? im rly glad ur dislocation free, that must’ve been a relief
@@katarina7822 I am sorry to hear you experienced the same injury through dance. And thank you for your kind words regarding my recovery. After my second dislocation, I saw an Orthopedic Surgeon. He performed my surgery. I did experience a few other complications along the way that I never mentioned in my first post. My body did begin to reject the screw that was holding the transplanted ligament in place about a year after the surgery. Though fortunately everything had fully knitted by then. However it did involve another surgical procedure to remove the screw and more physiotherapy in order for my knee to regain the ability to bend. And in 1998 I had a third surgical procedure to remove scar tissue that had built up in the joint throughout the years and would sometimes become trapped behind the patella. So my case isn't necessarily what most people will experience. All in all, I can say that having the ligament transplant surgery was successful in that I have suffered no further dislocations in over 40 years. However in my case, I did loose the " suspension" in my knee. It is perfectly flexible, however because I no longer have the " spring element" in that joint, I learnt to adapt around certain movement of turn and twist etc. It is second nature for me. I still dance which I love. However, there are some routines I could never do again after surgery. I am sorry this is so long. I am not sure if you dance competitively or as a hobby sport. I danced in theatre. Depending on how you feel, you may wish to consider seeing an Orthopedic Surgeon, who may be able to advise you from your personal experience of how the dislocation occurred in your dancing and if what you are doing to assist in your recovery exercises etc. will be enough for you to continue dancing without surgery. I do wish you a full and successful recovery and many more years of dancing 💖
I disclated my knee may be by doing some leg stretches I'm 18 and I'm so much worried about this Please tell me some tips to prevent and cure this
This hurts like hell, wayback 2013 I started to injure my knee its the most painful thing happened to me because of basketball then in 2014 I dislocated it. I had a trauma so I had a hard time playing basketball again but now in 2018 I'm thankful that I'm recovering from it and started to exercise for my knee to be strengthen. Believe me it's too painful
Oh Honey, I wish you well. Yes, a dislocation or more can impact on many of the very things we love to do.........I hope and pray you will be able to return to the sport you love 🙏
@@ladybug160 will surgery stunt my growth?
@@bunnychan3295 I have not heard of knee surgery having any negative impact on growth. 😊

Did you get surgery?
I just had my kneecap dislocated yesterday, probably the most painful thing I've ever experienced. The X-ray didn't find any permanent damage so they just taped it up but I'm terrified of it happening again.
How is it now? Do you still feel unstable? Or is it back to normal now
Same happened with me 2weeks ago
@@r8tedk91 now what u feel dear did it happen again
happened to me 1 week ago
You will live with that fear for the rest of your life.
I have a condition where my tendon is weaker than normal people have, so as a result I was born with a natural dislocated patella and I grew up with it (both of my knees btw). There was no way of holding it in place without surgery, but I couldn't get my surgery until I was 13. And as a consequence of growing up with both dislocated knees, my thigh muscles are weaker than usual people. The worst part is when I'm not paying attention a little bit when walking, I can just fall down without reason because my muscle is weak. And if it's in the public, you know how embarrassed I am, what's more if somebody asked me if I was okay and helped me up, and I just say no it's really nothing like literally nothing.
Thx for reading this, just want to let everyone know that there are people out there that seems like it's a common situation, but the root of it is not necessarily so.
Exact same thing here bro I'm 18 and grew up with it, my leg muscles are so weak and tight.
By the way did you fix it and if yes how? Because doctor told me I can't get surgery for it and I have to live with it
Living with same issue and I know how bad it hurts
Good day! Just want to update. I had my dislocation 4 months ago and it happened again for the third time last April 2016. I was so depressed that time and I almost stop from studying. I'm still thankful to my practicum prof for letting me to undergo in my ojt. Sadly, I had to wear a knee support because I don't know when it will dislocate again. My parents don't want me to have surgery because they're afraid of complications. I thank God that I finished my ojt and for everything.
Thank you so much for this video. Reading these comments made me feel so validated. I have floating patella’s so I’ve Dislocated my right kneecap 11 times since I was 11, I’m 21 now. Got surgery in 2017 but dislocated it again recently. Doctors always tell me there’s nothing permanent or really nothing they can do. Most frustrating and painful thing and it’s hard to get people to understand the anxiety of it. Grateful for you all and these comments
Hi Lytle,
Listen if you kept your knee in complete rest from a year, things would be much better. But since circumstances got the best of us, please don't lose hope. Body has it's own healing system. Please consider keeping it in rest now for about 1 or 1 and a half years, if you want that knee back. Doctor will tell you a lot of things, but the reality is doctors are doctor by reading books not by any practical means. Keep it rested for atleast 2 years or something (Since it's 10 years). Also don't do any heavy physical hardship for atleast 4 to 5 years.
Rest is the best treatment for ligament problems and bone problems. Doctor really can't do anything. Once you get bone problems, you lose atleast 4 or 5 years of your life. But don't worry, it is curable. Rest is the only solution for these injuries. As I have mentioned before also, "Doctors are doctor by reading books not by any practical means"
In 2018 when I was 10 years old, I was trying to get up a concrete plateform. I hit my knee aginst the platform edge very hard. In my right knee, above the patella, I got hit. Since then, it has happened 6 times that while running, my patella displaces slightly, I lose balance and fall down. It is very painful. I can hear its sound while falling. I think I damaged my medial retinaculum or vastus medialis.
An amazingly simple way of explaining , graphics helped loads.. Thanks Nabil
@cherokeedoll1 did you get xrays of the knee and patella ?
@cherokeedoll1 did you outgrow it?
thank you for the time you put into making the video. it helped me better understand what happened to me where my doctor has not explained it very well.
THANKS
i've had 3 knee cap dislocations when i was younger. most pain i;ve ever felt and still makes me squirm thinking about it. I was told that i had abnormally stiff tendons and muscles around the knee joint (thanks Mom side of the family!) as well as shallow grooves on the socket where the kneecap sits. So, some people get dislocations because things are too loose but for me it was because it was so tight, like a rubber band. orthopedic performed sugery to have the knee cap sit more naturally. made all the difference in the world
Have you had an issue since?
How's your knee doing ? Did you end up getting surgery ?
Wait I too don't have my kneecap sit naturally in the middle mine is more to the side, I dislocated my kneecap four months ago, and I wonder are u fully recovered? Can u waalk, dance, crawl, jump, swim, go to gym, can u stretch, can u dance ETC
It hurt alot i was crying and every time i walk a bone always points out of my knee
thanks
I have dislocates my right knee seven times! And my left knee twice.
I feel you buddy
DaM dude
Damn, your knees have been through the wringer
I’ve dislocated my left Townsend and my right 29
@@poorvik8077 did u visit a doctor
Please brief me
Very helpful video! I also talk to my knee and tell it that it needs to straighten up its act! LOL I just realized that this is what has been going on with one of my knees for years! I had posterior tibial tendonitis for 17 years in my right foot & ankle due to an injury. That took 7 years to get a good diagnosis, and another 10 to find a surgeon who would do something about it (I also moved several times during that time period, which didn't help with continuity of care). It got to the point where, every time my ankle gave out, my knee twisted. I told this to my podiatric surgeon, and that's when he decided to operate on the foot & ankle. That was nearly 10 years ago. For at least the past 4 years, my right knee has had an unnatural swelling, and more pain than the left knee (I have osteoarthritis in both knees). Despite wearing braces on my knees, the right knee keeps locking up on me, and I can actually feel the knee cap slide out of position and back in again, which is VERY painful. When I told my current orthopedist about this, he did a BACK MRI. Yes, he thought it was my back, so when that MRI came back ok, he dropped it! So I dropped him (even if he was playing a hunch, dropping the issue is not an option that I have).
I need a knee specialist. A couple of months ago, it dawned on me to look up if knees can become dislocated, and voila, all of the medical research I'm reading sounds familiar. I spoke with my PCP about it, and I am trying to find a practice that has a knee specialist in my area. I live in such a rural area, it's not easy to find specialists like that. I used to have a knee specialist (over 10 years ago) but he retired. My mother and sister were medical professionals, so I'm not totally ignorant when it comes to understanding my medical situation. I have tried every conservative measure that's been asked of me, but I have other medical conditions that make things a little harder for me. I've been wearing two braces at the same time and it doesn't stabilize my knees anymore (a soft spandex & elastic slip on sleeve, with a metal, nylon, and Velcro brace over top of that). I can't even get my housework done anymore, I can't get on my knees, they both buckle or lock, and I actually have had a back problem for about 32 years now that keeps getting worse). It's depressing. I understand that we age, but I just want to be able to clean my home so I don't look like a hoarder and a slob, because it's isolating when you can't get things done and you have no help.
Nice video on patellar dislocation! It has well explained the mechanism and treatment. Thanks!
We are a proud of this arabic channal.....شكرا دكتور وتسلم كثيرا ساعدتنا قناتكم
I dont usually comment or share but this topic is one i am fairly familiar with. I have had my patella dislocate so many times i cant remember the exact number. Here are some of the instances when. They have occured starting with the first at 16 i was playing basketball in high school went up next thing i remember im on the ground patella to the side it was out for eight hours till doctors relocated. Again at 18 playing basketball. At work tripped on metal bar fell off trailer,riding bike,in car,going down stairs,getting out of bed, and numerous times while sleeping. Sometimes 2 to 3 times a night. I have needed the help of emergency room 5 times rest of the time it goes back by itself or i put it back in. There is usually a little pain but now i just put it back in and i can continue doing what i was doing. I am very gratefull that i haven't torn anything as of yet. If this happens to you dont freeze up try to sit up make sure leg is straight try to grab your toes(or put a belt or rope under foot) and pull slightly upwards as your leg comes to your head. It shoud slide back in. After dont make any sudden movements it might pop out again. Well i hope this kinda helps. Oh las dislocation 2days ago. I am now 47.
fgonz222 dislocated mine about 9 times now in the past two years, it helps to hold under the quadricep and slowly extend until it pops back, or have someone extend it for you if it’s real far out
I have had re-occuring dislocations of knee caps since I was a kid. Specialists told me I have shallow grooves under my patellas which makes it more likely to dislocate compared to someone with normal knees. Its extremely annoying, especially when playing sports.
My right knee does that it sucks i wanted to practice ju jitsu but with my knee like that i jus cant :(
Just found out this has been what I have been experiencing for years. I had an MRI years ago showing so many issues because of this and I finally feel like I have answers
All your videos and this video are extremely helpful... thank u
@cherokeedoll1 try to do short arc close chain exercises
Thank you someone who finally explained why this keeps happening n how to fix it 🎉
The treatment is doing knee exercises so it won't happen for me again? Plz help i am big soccer fan and it happened to me most of the time I play :'(
+Adam Saleh Fans You could train your quadriceps femoris (go see a physical therapist to tell you how to do this).
If this doesn't help, there are surgeries which might help you e.g. straightening/tightening the so called medial patellar retinaculum.
This happens alot in my right leg. It causes me to fall and not be able to get up for a while and swells up. Usually happens once or twice a month. And dang it hurts!
Yes me to only happens on my right leg. It hurts so bad i fall & can't stop crying.
Have you seen a specialist for it
@@maryauten7409 I started physical therapy for it a couple weeks ago have about a month left.

@@luvsuneja not much. I'm getting surgery in a few weeks.
Hi Doctor Ebraheim. Thanks a lot for this great video. I learned a lot from it. My son (14yrs old) has patellar dislocation problem on his left leg since he was very young. I took him to the doctor when he was 9 and the doctor mentioned there was no thing he could do. From X-ray image we notice there was no noticeable groves on his bone. It did not bother him, but his left leg is not strong at all due to this problem. Any advice on if this can be fixed? Really appreciate your answer. Thx
@chinafox1 irreducible,or a FRAGMENT IN THE JOINT
Thanks very good educational material 🙏
Thank you. This helped a lot
My knee dislocated 4 times once it dislocated for 3 hours straight! That pain was hell!!!!!
Me too I had to go to the ER the first time i dislocated it and it would spasm and locked into place and be straight hell. Now I have episodes maybe once or twice every 2 months and I’ve been training my legs but when I do simple things or minor mistakes I got out and into place in like a second and i fell every movement then get lightheaded.
such a good advice.
THANK YOU FOR LIKING THE VIDEO
My Left knee dislocated so badly that for the first time I’ve seen god while feeling pain 😥😷
Same
Has it happened again, and are you able to go back to running and stuff
Honey, I saw God too, though that may have been from the morphine I was given by the doctor🤭
@@fyplays9074 Hi there, thankfully my surgery was successful ( over 40 years ago ) I am still dancing and I have lived a normal life bah a few limitations, mainly not having any " suspension " ( spring ) in my knee though it can fully bend etc. So things like trampolines and having a go at ice skating ( whereby I dislocated my other knee ) I haven't done since lol. And although the joint is now more or less bone on bone, I have no pain or discomfort. I am enormously grateful 🙏💜
@@ladybug160 haha, im fifteen and dislocated my knee while twisting wrongly while sitting down on the school bus. ive put a drill through my hand and cut myself to the bone before, but it hurt much worse. they gave me fentanyl and popped it back. was a few months ago, and im much better now.
some docs keep it for 6 weeks
it is ok
they are trying to be careful
thanks
i have several ones that are very good
I'm 30 years old, history of left leg issues since I was born with clubfoot (corrected casting & surgery), have had severely limited Ankle Dorsiflection, & never been able to do squats, deadlifts and such properly due to differing leg lengths & weakness in the leg. Had a patella dislocation with no serious issue 4 years ago, was sore but nothing problematic afterwards. Recently had my second happen, no major damage noted, but leg couldn't straighten 3 weeks after injury, was able to tolerate working 11-12 hour days, and walking on it with minor pain, but never could straighten the leg. Going to PT this week to find out the issue.
My kneecap first dislocated 13 years ago. Ever since then, it has dislocated about 1-3 times per month. It is one of the most painful things I have ever experienced and it happens quite often. I just recently went to the doctor for it and am due for a surgery. Hopefully this can fix it and I can play sports without being terrified of my knee dislocating.
So sorry to hear that and I hope you fully recover quickly!! Don’t give up❤️
Thank you so much! Turns out I tore a tendon a long time ago and it never healed right. I am planning for surgery ina few months. 👍
Was surgery your only option? I think I'm the same thing. Did you try physical therapy first?
How did surgery go?? I hope it went well and it wasn’t too painful :))
@veromas436 unfortunately I have not had surgery yet but it is scheduled for early 2024. I have been putting it off a little because I've never had surgery before and it's a pretty scary idea
@nabilebraheim I will read up on that to learn how to do those...thank you for your help, you are very kind:)
Mine is so unstable it happens when I'm laying down it tries to go out every day but I'm so used to it Ii keep it from going out by bending my knee
Bro get a metal one
@TCMAUMEE thanks
hi today I was just walking and it my knee got weak and I noticed that it shipped to the side a little bit an as soon as I stretch my left knee it went back in fast..But I don't know if I should go to the hospital or not cause I'm not in pain that much but I'm kinda scared to put my weight on it. ?🙏💯
good video and i shall be very thankful
My ligaments/tendons are too lose from damn genetics. I've popped my knee out many times, once from even going down a water slide I'm 18 now it started in 7th grade and now EVERYTHING that connects pops. Not sure if I should have surgery though....
@Nabilebraheim thanks I went to see the doctor no torn muscles or anything like that, Its been two weeks and I can support much more weight as well as bend it and walk although I do have a limp do you recommend still use the crutches or start to walk(Im kind of annoyed by crutches). The akward thing doctos say happened is that my knee dislocated inwards instead of outwards
@Bonemd2015 THANKS
I injured my left knee once when I was a kid when me and my brother had a fight (you know how kids are haha) And I injured it again when I was in high school, 8th grade. I was walking on the stage that time and it was wet because of the rain. So I was walking on the stairs (I was extra careful that time but I think it wasn't my luck haha) and since it was slippery I fell and last time I remember I was at the last step of the stair holding my knee and crying. But the shocking part of me was when I looked down at my knee and saw it was dislocated. I was really shocked that time and I just cried like so much. I was also scared like I had a feeling I'll never walk again because of what happened to my knee. But yeah, ever since that happened, there are things that I am now more cautious or careful like if I ran and if I want to I just couldn't run faster because I'm scared that my knee will fell out of place again and since then I've come to realize that my left knee is weak and when I say weak like if you put a force on it (well not that strong) its just hurts easily and the top part like if you hold it and like move it left and right its just easily dislocate and that what really scares me. And all my life I really regret not exercising regularly or eating fruits or drinking milks just to strengthen bones hahaha. But yeah, right know my knee is still weak and I really can't exercise because I've been busy in the house and studies but if I had a time I really want to exercise and strengthen my body especially my legs. I really don't want to happen it again twice is enough hahaha.
great video.
what `s the indication for the surgery of patella dislocation.
Tq for your valuable lessons ❤❤❤
i've had my left out 3 times in 9 months
living in the outback it took 3 hours before i got to hospital and they put it back in
2nd time i put it in myself scared of the wait
3rd it was knocked back in as soon as it was out by a opponent by accident
@4JAlan4 see a doc and get treatment
im 22 and this injury is ruining my life. second patellar dislocation and i will be out of sports and training for 2 more months at least. stretched every ligament possible, doctor said he's almost 100% sure it will happen again and then i will have to undergo a surgery with a 6 month recovery time. i have to give up playing sports with lateral movement (every fun sport) and long distance running is out of the question now because of the arthritis. i had just recovered from a broken toe and immediately dislocated my kneecap, so i've been sitting on my ass for 4 months now. my squat and deadlift have definitely plummeted. physical therapist says i have the left knee of a 75 year old but my right knee is fantastic.
ended up getting so depressed that i got sent to a psyche ward while in a leg immobilizer for 6 days. im losing muscle mass and turning into a sad pillsbury dough boy. do not fuck around with your knees.
I know how are feeling my knee dislocated in 6th grade during dance and 7th and now 10 grade yestarday during dance team :( it was scariest the 3rd time bc it was out the longest and hurt worse :(
Hey Nabilebraheim, a friend of mine has a patellar dislocation. This is because the ligament of the quadriceps is attached 2 cm to the outside on the tibia. Do you know how this condition exactly is called? I've been trying to get more info about it but couldn't find it. I'm Dutch so don't know how to look it up exactly. Do you also know how she can relief her pain while walking?
@nabilebraheim Im 17 yrs old and I dislocated my knee last year while playing by twisting it. My physeo put it back into place but there was an osteochondral medial fascet fracture, and the chipped bone had to be removed via keyhole surgery. After 6 months I got back to sports but just 2 months in, I dislocated it again while playing football. Is there anything other than weights i can do to recover properly. I love sports and dont want it to be a recurring injury. Will sports Sports rehab help?
I looking for a knee brace to stop my knee dislocating can you please give me some idea thanks
I've dislocated my knee 38 times, had a lateral release yet it is progressively getting worse with the fluid forming a lump on the lateral side and increased grinding behind the kneecap due to a shallow patellofemoral grove. As I'm only 17 should start to wear off due to stopping growing?
I recently did this and when I press the swelling around the patellar I find a lump that I can move around the knee (about 1cm squared) do you know what this is?
It doesn't need contact, a lot of times the patella dislocates by a sudden twist of the body eg if u twist ur right leg to the right and put pressure on it it will dislocate.
Hello Doc. I have one question.Why did my pattela pop out again and i even dont have contact with other player?
@nabilebraheim I did have an x ray a few years ago,,there was no damge done inside my knee, The doctor gave me a knee brace and suggested I do exercise to make my muscle stronger that might help my knee..My knee hasnt twist in a long time,,but Im always aware and careful with doing arobics or any type of activity that might make my knee give way.
After 4 years? I had my 4th dislocation now. Last year was peaceful. No dislocation or such. Now that I'm working and finished my college degree, it happen again. I hate myself more.
I was involved in a car accident a month ago and X-ray was done and the only thing the dr told me was nothing was found nothing broken. My Doctor can’t see me until the 15. Leg and knee have gotten a lot better. I researched on my own and I’m almost 100% sure that this is what happened to my leg. Even states that can be due to a collision. I was knocked all around in the car all the while I was slamming down on the brakes. Hurt sooooo bad but after 4 weeks I can finally walk without limping although I still feel popping in my knee and some pain.
Hi everyone my name is America im 28 i live in Phoenix Arizona and have suffered from knee dislocations ever since I was 5 years old in both knees
right knee 18 times left knee 15 times. I have gone to 5 different orthopedist and none of them gave me a diagnosis they just sent me to phisycal therapy an after a while my knee would dislocate again.Finally a doctor told me I have throclear dysplasia and that there is nothing he can do about it, that I just have to learn to live with the problem.

My other half can have several knee dislocations/ subluxations a month and now to her hip and jaw she’s had number of operations. Sadly none have stopped the dislocations
I dislocated my right knee cap earlier today while at soccer practice I stretched my leg out while a teammate came running at me I felt it move to the left and I also heard a crack It immediately move back in place with a crack too. At first I could not move it I had to put ice in order to be able to bend it. Besides ice is there anything else I can do?
have been dislocating my knee since 2003.. the first time is the worst as for me my hockey shin pad held the knee cap out so i couldn't straighten my knee for about 10 mins.... ( hurt like crazy ... can't feel from my knee to my foot ... thought i broke my leg). I have had it dislocate from running fast to wrestling with friends ... The latest happened this past weekend now at the age of 34 while i started playing hockey again after taking 5 years off.... the pain is still the same but now i know that i need to get my shin pad off asap and it will reduce the swelling .... one of the worst injuries i think to get because its so unpredictable. Wondering if i should look in to surgery...
Sir, if I'm correct ligament laxity (hypermoblity), would also be a cause? My specialist said it was.. Getting scans done in Oct, to see what damage I've done..
@DasherDeathNote YOU SHOULD SEE A DOC NOW
I have a leg disorder that dislocates my knee randomly a least once a year it’s pain full
Saw him. After leg immoblisation for 2 weeks he said the knee was very stable and i had no pain as he pushed the patella and moved it. I am now in a brace for 2-3 weeks and doing PT.
I have patella dislocation and mpfl tear how to treat
mind do this a bunch of times and now my knee want go down i have iced it and wen i get up i have craps in my cab muscles i go to the doctor and he just seen me t thephy how can i stop this from happening
@nabilebraheim no, I didnt outgrow it. The first time my knee bukled or gave way with me was when I was about 8 yr's old. I made me fall down but it went right back into place on its on. After that, my knee would bukle or give way on me periodically throughout my life,,mostly if I took a wrong step,,or accidently step on something,,a rock..stick or anything that might turn my foot the wrong way,,it would make my knee twist. But it always pops back immediately into place. It just hurts real bad
Today i dislocated my kneecap only for a second or 2. I am able to walk but i really struggle getting up stairs because i feel it just moving back and forth. If i'm sitting down i cannot lift up my leg very high. Will ice and a good nights sleep make it better or should i go to the doctor
I'm 15 and I dislocated my kneecap 10 months ago doing a backflip on the ground and landing on my side with a football where my knee landed pushing it out. I have had no problems since and I sprint and jump for track but I'm scared to ski and jump on a trampoline. What's the chance it will happen again?
CAN YOU TELL ME HOW WAS LIKE
for too long, i'm embarrassed to say, i have both patellae dislocated, lying laterally *(sunrise but flat, flat) there is no knee reflex as cannot straighten knees, and cannot walk. there was previous corrective surgery for the dislocating so damage is bad. the scar rather than being on laterally side is right in center now.. i cannot find a doc and am afraid of patellar sunrise rising...etc. i wonder if you can recommend someone on sscoast or nearby....
the leg health is improved with yoga and activity but rom and no knee reflex makes walking impossible. any other suggestions ....thanks.
Sir what should I do I have pain on my top of the inside patella
BUT I WANT TO DANCE
Eda D orange justice got you too huh?
Excellent Video! Sorry for the intrusion, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you ever tried - Taparton Lard Destroying Takeover (probably on Google)? It is a smashing exclusive guide for finding the trick to deal with knee pain without the headache. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my best friend Jordan after many years got amazing results with it.
I have to quite gymnastics because I dislocated it 4 times within 2 years I’ve been doing it since I was little and was just at that time able to afford a real class it sucks cause even after a year off the floor I miss it so much. But with how bad my injury is I can’t return back ever because it’ll just re injure again😭
@@kendrickdobbs7639 ye
I get them all the time 😭😭I'm only 12 I hate my life
I dislocated me knee and it hurts like a bitch. Hope fully you get better bro I wouldn’t want to wish this pain on anyone
@@chunky3086 me to i hope you are doing better it say for a 12 year old to have that much pain. I hope you got a ope or a knee brace to stop your knee dislocated
I happend to me and I didn't hurt
@@javon0 good for you I did it 2 weeks ago and is still sore
I'm 12 too and this happened to me and I'm soo scared because in two days I'm getting surgery and won't walk for a long time and I'm crying right now because I've been through this so many time and I'm scared for you all
I recently dislocated my patella and went to a orthopedic specialist. They did an xray and it was clear that my patella has a Osteochondral Fracture, but the doctor didn't seem concerned about it. Your video indicates that surgery is necessary. Any idea why my doctor didn't agree?
Dislocated my knee about 3 weeks ago. I was playing around and dancing with children and it just popped out of place. I wasn't able to get to the hospital to have it set for about an hour or two. Still in a knee immobiliser and unable to bend my knee fully or walk without the brace. In physio but not seeing any results yet. I work in a daycare and am an early childhood education student. I'm worried my career is now ruined before it has even begun :/ I'm only 19 and worry every day it will dislocate again. When will the fear end?
+Jenna Taylor Hey Jenna, I fell your pain. I'm only 16 and have dislocated my knee twice (the same one). This knocked me out of sports for 2 seasons each time. I feared that it would happen again after the first time and it did but recently, I've started various exercises in order to strengthen the muscles and ligaments that are responsible to keep in on track and in place. I also now use a brace that aids in tracking that I wear during sports to decrease the risk even more. I'm not perfect and never will be but the best way not to live in fear is to spend a lot of time doing exercises as well as maybe get a patella tracking brace to use during activities that you would feel comfortable having it on. But make sure you do not wear it when it is unnecessary or else you will weaken the muscles and make the brace do most of the work when it shouldn't. I use my brace for sports only to help track it when I don't always have full control of it. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to message me because I know EXACTLY how you feel and I wish you the best of luck.
I'm 14 and I've dislocated mine twice, and subluxated it too many times to count .. Almost on a weekly basis ... It's hard but honestly, use supports, physio whatever helps you, it's really hard to come back from and people don't tend to understand how painful/hard the process is, best of luck with it!
Mine was out for about 3 hours :)
yes same fear haunting me too
I know exactly how you feel. When I was 14 I was playing soccer and accidentally twisted my leg and messed up my knee just like you did. I'm now 19 and my knee has dislocated like 7 times since then. I live in every day hoping that I won't have to go through the pain again
my patella is popping out. its been like that for over 2 years should i be worry?
My patella on my right leg slid down, very bumpy, to the side of my leg and jumped back as I fell. Went to doctor, he said he doesn't see anything wrong, only a lot of vapor, he said to get an x-ray, but I'm not sure if I should, because x-rays are very expensive in my country and my parents don't have a lot of money. Are x-rays advised or not really needed
I can't even dance or stand with just my left foot i feel that if i did that it's going to break and everytime it dislocates it feels hella painful
I i have bilateral knee subluxation which is knee dislocation in both knees and I'm knocked kneed and Im able to force my legs straight is this causing me to have patelar dislocations????
I dislocated mine 3 months ago and have been vigilant about physical therapy and exercise. It look about 6 weeks to walk again and still having problems
how big are osteochondral fragments?
I had a patella dislocation because my cousin fell on my leg and glide on my leg it's the first time I had this been 3 weeks already I've been wearing a brace and now the doctors asked me to exercise, like straightening my legs and I can do that but will it happen again?
I dont know but when i was 10 yrs old i got hit by a car on my right leg and everytime i sit and cross my legz u know like a meditation type my right knee gets lock and i cant unfold it u gotta lift my leg with my hand and put it back in place
Had this in 2018 .... Very painful ....but now it's fine
i’m a very active kid and recently i have found out i inherited my moms knee problems, basically, the bones that connect the bones below my kneecap are more shallow then they should be, it popped out the first time in my left knee in august 2023, while i was army crawling on my friends floor to move something, the next time it happened was during a softball game, i was playing catcher, a runner was trying to steal home, i spun on my right leg to fast and it popped out, i didn’t react but it hurt like crap, i finished the inning and didn’t tell anyone i was hurt and just powered through the game. third time was softball practice, i was practicing a double play when i was rotating from catching the ball to throwing the ball to first, i pushed back on my right leg while it was too low to the ground and my knee dislocated. fourth time was at school, i was playing gaga ball and my friend was throwing the ball up back up from the hill and it was kinda a bad throw so i went and jumped for it, again i went to low on my right leg and still pushed off of it, making it dislocate, that was the first time anyone at school saw it, and a lot of people play gaga ball, multiple people saw it actually move out of socket and back in. finally the most recent time was the day before my track meet, i was playing four square at our extra recess, my friend who had missed the ball and went to go get it, threw it a little high so i jumped for it, nothing was to low got the ground, i didn’t push off to hard, but the kid in the square next to me was kind of overweight and he bumped into me while i was in air, he just happened to bump into in the exact spot where it’ll pop out, so since he hit it perfectly, it popped out, and it probably wouldn’t had since i had my brace on, but it had slid down at the exact moment when he bumped into be, the second i was going to land i was going to fix it, but of course, i couldn’t. if anyone was wondering i did fine at my track meet
