Patellar subluxation refers to the partial dislocation of the kneecap, also known as the patella. The patella is a small, triangular bone located in front of the knee joint. It acts as a protective structure and helps in the proper functioning of the knee joint.

Traumatic patella dislocation is a common type of injury seen by orthopedic surgeons. This occurs when the kneecap slides to the side, resulting in patella instability or dislocation.
After the first occurrence of a patella dislocation, non-surgical treatment is usually the first approach. Seeking early medical attention and consulting a specialist is crucial.
