Patellar Dislocation
This instability is more common in women than men, usually occurs during adolescence, and is common to occur several times. Many factors, such as blunt trauma, structural alignment, muscle tone, and ligament support all influence this mechanism of injury. Physical therapy helps to regain strength lost during healing and immobilization. Additionally, it improves strength and coordination of LE muscles, which decreases the probability of repeated dislocation.
