Patella malalignment: Sounds like you had knee cap (patella) dislocations. If the knee cap tracts slightly lateral to where it should, it will tend to cause a lot of noise and over time time wear down the cartilage (chondromalacia) as well as risk that it might pop out. Strengthening the inner thigh muscles (adductors) will help improve the patella alignment. Physical therapy is recommended.
