What Is Patellar Subluxation?

A little bit of anatomy helps to understand what patellar subluxation really is. The patella, or kneecap, is one of the three bones that form the knee joint. Each of these bones has a protective layer of cartilage where their surface comes in contact. Patella is also covered with a tendon. This tendon connects the quadriceps muscle of the thigh to the shin (tibia) below the knee.

As the knee bends, the kneecap slides partly out of the groove. This groove is called the Subluxation. The kneecap is designed to fit into the center of the trochlear groove and to slide evenly within the grooves.

According to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS), knee dislocation often damages the lower part of the knee, which can lead to the development of permanent pain and artrite.⁽¹⁾

The U.S. National Library of Medicine reports that repeated and untreated kneecap subluxations can cause more damage to the knee each time they occur. It is important to get an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan that may include working with a physical therapist or exercising yourself.

You should not do any exercise until you have obtained permission from your treatment provider. Your knee may need to stay in the brace or cast for several weeks, and you may have to avoid putting weight on the affected leg. The strengthening and conditioning will begin after the splint or brace is removed.
