  2. Patellar dislocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patellar_dislocation

    A patellar dislocation is a knee injury in which the patella (kneecap) slips out of its normal position. [5] Often the knee is partly bent, painful and swollen. [1] [2] The patella is also often felt and seen out of place. [1] Complications may include a patella fracture or arthritis. [3]

  3. Ischiopatellar dysplasia - Wikipedia

    This finding was important as they were the first to note that it was a benign disorder that is separate from the more severe nail-patella syndrome. [35] Other common names for ischiopatellar syndrome are small patella syndrome (SPS), since the patellae are often small or absent in patients who have this syndrome, and coxo-podo-patellaire syndrome.

  4. Luxating patella - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luxating_patella

    Luxating patella cannot be present without the knee being loose, but a loose knee is not necessarily slipping out of the joint. Even with luxating patella, symptoms such as intermittent limping in the rear leg might be mild or absent. Physical examination and manual manipulation are the preferred methods for diagnosis.

  5. Joint dislocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_dislocation

    Knee: Patellar dislocation. Many different knee injuries can happen. Three percent of knee injuries are acute traumatic patellar dislocations. [26] Because dislocations make the knee unstable, 15% of patellas will re-dislocate. [27] Patellar dislocations often occur when the knee is in full extension and sustains a trauma from the lateral to ...

  6. Patella - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patella

    The patella is found in many tetrapods, such as mice, cats, birds and dogs, but not in whales, or most reptiles. In humans, the patella is the largest sesamoid bone (i.e., embedded within a tendon or a muscle) in the body. Babies are born with a patella of soft cartilage which begins to ossify into bone at about four years of age.

  8. Chondromalacia patellae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chondromalacia_patellae

    Chondromalacia patellae (also known as CMP) is an inflammation of the underside of the patella and softening of the cartilage.. The cartilage under the kneecap is a natural shock absorber, and overuse, injury, and many other factors can cause increased deterioration and breakdown of the cartilage.

  9. Patellar subluxation syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patellar_subluxation_syndrome

    Patellar subluxation syndrome is an injury involving the kneecap. Patellar subluxation is more common than patellar dislocation and is just as disabling. [1] In this condition, the patella repetitively subluxates and places strain on the medial restraints and excessive stress/tension on the patellofemoral joint. Patellar subluxation can be ...
