Patellar Instability

In this plan

  1. Purpose, Prevention & Protection

    • I know a twist, fall, or blow can injure the bands that hold my kneecap in place.
    • I understand that my bone shape or leg alignment may make slipping more likely.
    • I know repeated slips can harm the smooth lining of my knee joint.
    • I avoid pivoting, sudden turns, and jumping until my care team clears me.
