Orthopaedic surgeon: Hi, Patella dislocations can be baffling to non-specialists, however our knowledge has come a long way in recent years. It is important to not ignore repeated dislocations. There are minimally-invasive ways to prevent this. Each dislocation can cause cartilage damage. It is important you are evaluated by an orthopaedic surgeon who completed a sports medicine fellowship.
