Patellofemoral Instability

The patella or kneecap sits at the front of the knee and is important in the function of knee movement. A patellar dislocation is a common injury where the patella moves out to the side of the knee which can be significantly painful and may go on to happen in a recurring manner. This can cause issues with normal day to day function, particularly getting in and out of a chair or going up and down stairs, as well as returning to sport.
