Patellar Dislocation | Dislocated Knee Cap Treatment & Information
About Patellar Dislocation
Patellar dislocation occurs when the kneecap, also known as the patella, slips out of its normal position in the groove at the end of the thigh bone. This condition can cause significant pain, instability, and difficulty with movement. At Regency Square Care Center, we understand the impact patellar dislocation can have on your daily life, and we are committed to providing high-quality, personalized care to help you recover.
Causes of Patellar Dislocation
Patellar dislocation can be caused by various factors, including:
- Traumatic injury to the knee
- Abnormal anatomy of the knee joint
- Weakness or imbalance in the muscles surrounding the knee
- Repeated stress or overuse of the knee
Our team of experienced healthcare professionals will thoroughly assess your condition to determine the underlying cause of your patellar dislocation and create a tailored treatment plan.
Symptoms of Patellar Dislocation
Common symptoms of patellar dislocation may include:
- Sudden, sharp pain in the knee
- Visible deformity of the kneecap
- Swelling and bruising around the knee joint
- Inability to straighten or bend the knee
- Feeling of instability or "giving way" in the knee
If you experience any of these symptoms, it is crucial to seek medical attention promptly to prevent further damage and initiate appropriate treatment.
Treatment Options for Patellar Dislocation
At Regency Square Care Center, we offer a comprehensive range of treatment options for patellar dislocation, including:
- Non-Surgical Treatment:
- Surgical Intervention:
In cases where the patellar dislocation is not severe, conservative treatment methods may be recommended. This can include physical therapy, bracing, and activity modification to strengthen the muscles around the knee and improve stability.
If conservative treatments do not provide significant relief, our skilled surgeons may recommend surgical intervention. The surgical procedures for patellar dislocation aim to realign the kneecap and repair any damaged structures. Our team of experts will carefully assess your condition and discuss the most appropriate surgical approach for you.
