A member asked:
What is usually done when your kneecap shifts out of the groove? please help i am in slot of pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Brace vs surgery: Patellar slippage. This can be annoying and painful. Options include taping or bracing, which don’t repair the problem, just mask it, or better, see an orto doc for review of surgical correction options that can prevent the recurrence and assess any damage caused by this condition. Good luck
