A member asked:
My husband had total knee replacement 14 years ago. it looks like his knee cap has now dislocated. is this serious or not?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: If he is having pain he should see his surgeon and get an x-ray. It could be loosening of the patellar implant, fracture, or dislocation of the patella. It may need surgery to repair.
