SYMPTOMS OF KNEECAP DISLOCATION

Kneecap Dislocation: The symptoms of a kneecap dislocation will vary based upon how the injury occurred as well as the severity of the damage to the knee joint and/or if other knee injuries are also present. In minor cases, it may be possible for an athlete to immediately resume athletic activity. In others, pain and limited mobility will be apparent.

Kneecap Dislocation: Primary symptoms of kneecap dislocation may include:  Lack of mobility. If the kneecap dislocates to the outside of the knee, the leg may be stuck in a bent position, making it difficult to move. Knee that gives way. When putting pressure on the affected leg, the knee may give out and be unable to support one's body weight. Re-positioning of the patella, in moderate to severe dislocations, the kneecap will not only move away from the knee joint but will fully re-position itself to the outside of the leg.

Kneecap Dislocation: A hyper-mobile patella, in instances where the patella hasn’t moved away from the front of the knee but has dislocated, an individual may be able to move the patella around the front of the knee joint with an extended range of motion. Or the kneecap may simply feel out of place/not lined up. A hyper-mobile kneecap is sometimes referred to as sloppy knee.

Kneecap Dislocation: Pain when standing is also a symptoms of kneecap dislocation. Kneecap dislocation may cause sharp pain on the front of the knee when some individual tries to stand or put pressure on the knee joint. Over time, the pain in the kneecap will dull, but this is not necessarily indicative of healing. Bruising may appear on and around the front of the kneecap during the healing process, particularly if the injury was caused by direct impact or blunt force.
