A member asked:
What are the chances occurrence of patella dislocation after 1st.how to avoid it? need any brace for normal walk or running after 1st recovery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Patella dislocation: Greater chances for recurrence if you are younger or if you have a predisposition as a result of loose supporting tissue/ligaments, muscle weakness or imbalance, or bone deformity (usually a shallow trochlear groove). Best treatment starts with strengthening exercises perhaps guided by a physical therapist, and a brace.
