Frequency. 6 per 100,000 per year [4] 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.
Function. The purpose of the MPFL is to keep the patella stabilized; the ligament itself is responsible for 50–80% of the stability that is needed to prevent lateral patellar dislocation. [2] The ligament is able to gain this stability by keeping the patella stable in the trochlear groove. The addition of two other ligaments: the medial ...
A knee dislocation is an injury in which there is disruption of the knee joint between the tibia and the femur. [3][4] Symptoms include pain and instability of the knee. [2] Complications may include injury to an artery, most commonly the popliteal artery behind the knee, or compartment syndrome. [3][4][7] About half of cases are the result of ...
Relatively common [2] 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 ...
The patellar tendon is a strong, flat ligament, which originates on the apex of the patella distally and adjoining margins of the patella and the rough depression on its posterior surface; below, it inserts on the tuberosity of the tibia; its superficial fibers are continuous over the front of the patella with those of the tendon of the quadriceps femoris.
Up to 1 in 10,000 per year [2] 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.
Patellar subluxation syndrome, is an injury that is concerned with 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 ...
A traumatic dislocation of the tibiotarsal joint of the ankle with distal fibular fracture. Open arrow marks the tibia and the closed arrow marks the talus. A joint dislocation, also called luxation, occurs when there is an abnormal separation in the joint, where two or more bones meet. [1] A partial dislocation is referred to as a subluxation.
