Patella Ligament injuries

Traumatic or developmental dislocations of the patella can occur at any age group and particularly in the case of young very active people. Apart from the other extensor mechanism potential issues or rotational abnormalities that can contribute to this abnormality.

Early intervention with Physiotherapy, more advanced imaging and potential surgical reconstruction of the medial patella femoral ligament need to be discussed with a Children’s orthopaedic consultant. This would allow an early return to sports.
