Knee dislocation occurs when a child's patella (kneecap) slips out of place. When this occurs - such as after a hard blow or fall - it can be a partial knee dislocation or full dislocation. Even if the patella slips back into place by itself, it will require treatment to relieve painful symptoms.
In this video, you'll learn more about the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for patellar instability from Dr. Justin Roth.
