    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]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_patellofemoral_ligament

    Injuries to the MPFL are rare, and mostly occur in athletes. With lateral patellar dislocation, the MPFL is ruptured 90% of the time. [1] 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]

  4. 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.

  5. Patellofemoral pain syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patellofemoral_pain_syndrome

    Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS; not to be confused with jumper's knee) is knee pain as a result of problems between the kneecap and the femur. [4] The pain is generally in the front of the knee and comes on gradually. [2] [4] Pain may worsen with sitting down with a bent knee for long periods of time, excessive use, or climbing and ...

  6. Patellar tendon rupture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patellar_tendon_rupture

    Patellar tendon rupture is a tear of the tendon that connects the knee cap (patella) to the tibia. [1] Often there is sudden onset of pain and walking is difficult. [1] In a complete rupture, the ability to extend that knee is decreased. [1] A pop may be felt when it occurs. [2]

  7. Infrapatellar fat pad - Wikipedia

    The infrapatellar fat pad (Hoffa's fat pad) is a cylindrical piece of fat that is situated inferior and posterior to the patella bone within the knee, [1] intervening between the patellar ligament and synovial fold of the knee joint.

  8. Patella - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patella

    The upper three-quarters of the patella articulates with the femur and is subdivided into a medial and a lateral facet by a vertical ledge which varies in shape. In the adult the articular surface is about 12 cm 2 (1.9 sq in) and covered by cartilage , which can reach a maximal thickness of 6 mm (0.24 in) in the centre at about 30 years of age.

  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 ...
