  3. 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]

  4. Patellar tendon rupture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patellar_tendon_rupture

    Patellar tendon rupture can usually be diagnosed by physical examination. The most common signs are: tenderness, the tendon's loss of tone, loss of ability to raise the straight leg and observation of the high-riding patella. Radiographically, patella alta can be detected using the Insall and Salvati method when the patella is shorter than its ...

    CT angiogram 3D reconstruction, posterior view showing a normal artery on the left, and occlusion to right popliteal artery as a result of a knee dislocation [10] Symptoms include knee pain.

  6. Lateral condyle of femur - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_condyle_of_femur

    The osteochondral fracture occurs on the weight-bearing portion of the lateral condyle. Typically, the condyle will fracture (and the patella may dislocate) as a result of severe impaction from activities such as downhill skiing and parachuting. [1] Open reduction and internal fixation surgery is typically used to repair an osteochondral fracture.

  8. Medial patellofemoral ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_patellofemoral_ligament

    The patella rests in the trochlear, which is found in the distal part of the femur. The patella can dislocate from the groove because of trauma or an unnatural twisting of the knee. [5] When dislocated, the soft tissue layer that the patella rests in is damaged; the patella is forced out of its groove and back into place.

  9. Bipartite patella - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipartite_patella

    Bipartite patella is a condition where the patella, or kneecap, is composed of two separate bones. Instead of fusing together as normally occurs in early childhood, the bones of the patella remain separated. [1] The condition occurs in approximately 1–2% of the population [2] [3] and is no more likely to occur in males than females.
