Knee instability: Consider patellofemoral instability from flattened femoral condyles, deficient vmo or quad, or high valgus knee. Also consider ligament problems with acl, pcl, mcl, lcl. Check with your orthopedic surgeon or sports doc.

Knee slippage: Slipping out of joint could be due to an unstable patella femoral relationship or due to underlying acl insufficiency. A careful history, exam and, x rays and MRI may further pinpoint the diagnosis.
