    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patellar_subluxation_syndrome

    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 ...

    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 ...
