Background

  • Occurs with trauma to an extended knee with externally rotated foot and twisting motion[1]
  • Acute: in traumatic injury, occurs equally in men/women [2]
  • Chronic: women/teenage girls[2]
  • Commonly lateral displacement and unable to extend knee

Clinical Features

patella dislocates laterally
  • Patella is usually displaced laterally; knee is held in flexion
  • Acute: often with large hemarthrosis
  • Chronic: little to no swelling

Differential Diagnosis

Knee diagnoses

Acute knee injury

Nontraumatic/Subacute

Evaluation

Patellaluxation ap 001.png
  • Xray if traumatic mechanism to rule out fracture
  • Do not need xay prior to reduction if chronic
  • Post-reduction x-ray: confirm reduction, eval for fractures and loose bodies (avulsions, misalignment, etc)[3]
  • Common associated fractures
    • Medial patella facet
    • Lateral femoral condyle

Management

Relocation with lateral pressure on dislocated patella
  • Reduce; do not need x-rays prior to reduction
    • Mild flexion of hip (20-30 degrees) to relax quadriceps
    • Extend and slightly hyperextend the knee and slide patella back into place
    • Knee immobilizer, NSAIDs, partial weight-bearing
    • Orthopedic follow-up within 1-2wks
  • Unable to reduce or loose bodies/fracture on post-reduction imaging
    • Obtain immediate ortho consult
