🏥 Understanding Patellar Subluxation – A Common Cause of Knee Pain
Patellar subluxation, also called kneecap instability, occurs when the kneecap (patella) partially slips out of its normal position. It’s a frequent issue among young individuals, athletes, and people with hypermobility.
Common Signs:
✅ Sudden giving way of the knee
✅ Pain around the kneecap, especially during movement
✅ Swelling or a feeling of the kneecap being “off”
✅ Difficulty with activities like walking, climbing stairs, or squatting
Why It Happens:
🔹 Weak thigh muscles
🔹 Shallow groove in the thigh bone
🔹 Previous dislocations
🔹 High-impact sports injuries
Treatment Options at TATVA Hospital:
🦵 Activity modification and physiotherapy
🦵 Bracing and muscle strengthening
🦵 Minimally invasive surgical correction in severe or recurrent cases
Early evaluation can prevent long-term complications like arthritis and chronic instability.
