Recurrent dislocation of patella - what does this mean
Recurrent dislocation of patella is a condition in which the kneecap (patella) slips out of its normal position and is unable to return to its original position. this is caused by weakened ligaments and muscles around the knee joint, which can be due to injury, overuse, or a congenital abnormality.
What happens during the disease - recurrent dislocation of patella
Recurrent dislocation of the patella is most commonly caused by a combination of anatomical abnormalities of the knee joint, such as a shallow trochlear groove, excessive lateral femoral condyle tilt, and a hypermobile patella. these abnormalities can cause increased stress on the knee joint, leading to an increased likelihood of patellar dislocation, especially during activities that involve sudden changes in direction or high levels of physical activity.
