Other derangements of patella - what does this mean
Other derangements of the patella include patellar subluxation, dislocation, and instability, which can occur when the muscles and tendons around the knee become weak or tight, or when the patella is not tracking correctly in the femoral groove. this can cause pain, discomfort, and instability in the knee joint.
What happens during the disease - other derangements of patella
Other derangements of the patella are caused by a variety of factors, including trauma, overuse, misalignment of the knee joint, and muscle imbalances. these factors can lead to inflammation, pain, and instability of the patella, causing it to move out of its normal position. this can lead to further instability and pain, as well as difficulty with activities of daily living.
