#patellar dislocation

[fingertipsmp3]

Lads, I have come to the unsurprising and belated realisation that I am a ✨fucking idiot✨

[raccoonzinspace]

Knee still hurts a little bit, but at least it didn't completely pop out to the side.

Gotta start wearing a knee brace during the day, I suppose.

[northwestofinsanity]

Well, it turns out a couple of days ago, I gave a correct, unofficial diagnosis for my aunt’s dog based on a frantic call from my uncle and his description (my mom’s sister has been in town from far away visiting to help with my grandmother, but my uncle did not come into town… I’ve been less active here the past few days while spending time with family). It’s not the worst thing, and the dog should be okay, but I kinda wish I had been wrong, because he is going to need surgery, as they found out when they were finally able to get into an appointment with their vet today.

“Now, guys, these are your teams for the challenge today, “ Vik said after he had assigned everyone. The teams were Simon and JJ, Tobi and Josh, and as a last-minute call-in, you and Harry. Ethan had to leave unexpectedly, and you were already in the area when Simon called, saying they needed an extra. Everyone got situated with their teams, and you and Harry made jokingly started talking shit with the other guys. “Are you ready? In 3, 2, 1!” The whistle blew, and everyone was off.

“You wanna take some pens, and I’ll start running,” You offered to Harry as he was already grabbing a ball. He agreed, and as you were running off, you heard him say he missed the first shot. You signed to yourself before muttering, “This is gonna be a long video.”

You got into a rhythm running beside JJ while he shouted at Simon. “I believe in you, Simon!”

“I believe in you too, Si!” You shouted as well and looked at him over your shoulder, “Just not right now. I’d like to win!”

“Aye, fuck off!” Simon hollered at you before turning to the refs. “Do you see this?”

“We’ll allow it,” Vik said after shrugging.

“Haha, I love you, Si!” You said, running over to place a kiss on his cheek before walking away and going back to running. Somehow, you hit a wet patch in the grass and felt your knee give out almost immediately as you fell onto the turf. “Simon Minter, you promised the grass was dry!”

“I didn’t think you would wipe out,” Simon laughed as he walked over to help you out. He reached out to help you stand when he noticed your dislocated knee and pointed it out. “Oh shit, your knee!”

“Don’t think I know that? I have patellar instability, so my joints don’t hold my knee in place. Help me up,” You explained as you grabbed his hand and made him pull you up while avoiding putting any pressure on your leg. “Vik, I wanna offer a deal.”

“First off, are you okay?” Vik asked as he and the other ref ran over to see what was going on.

“Just peachy,” You replied through gritted teeth before looking down at your knee and seeing your kneecap to the side. “I’m gonna need to get this checked out. How much do I gotta pay you to let me leave? Or, better yet, how much do I gotta pay for Simon and I to leave?”

“Nothing,” Vik replied immediately as he saw the injury. “Get out of here, but keep us updated.”

“Sweet as, now help me to the car,” You joked, pointing to the car park like a navigator.

I finally came up with my own idea for Luigi's bad knees line from the movie, he has two things wrong with his knee (one for each knee because Luigi is the unluckiest man in the world)

The first issue is patellar instability, his knee dislocates, has issues of stiffness and swelling, chronic pain and his knee pops every time he goes upstairs. He has a brace he uses after it dislocates to stabilize it while he recovers, normally after a couple times there's usually some sort of surgery to help but he never got it because he doesn't like surgery and decided he'd rather live with a knee that can dislocate if he's not careful. His family (in particular his mother and Mario) tried to convince him to go through with it but he said no and they eventually stopped pushing (while also making it known that they understand but would rather he get the surgery). Later on King tried to convince him to get the surgery but he also eventually gave up seeing how stubborn Lu was about the matter

The other knee has chronic pain issues due to a knee fracture that did not heal quite right. How did he fracture his knee? By tripping and falling

[wheelie-sick]

because of your post about rotational differences, which I did not know were a thing… I think maybe my tibias are twisted and THAT’s part of why it hurts so much to walk? Not just hypermobility? Much research to do about external tibial torsion now

hell yeah! [potentially] welcome to the club!

lower limb rotational differences can also mimic or exacerbate hypermobility symptoms because they can cause patellar instability & dislocations. they wear down cartilage as well as creating about 900 other problems that you wouldn't expect to be associated (miserable malalignment can cause scoliosis, for example)

here's a page that mentions some of the associated problems of MMS, some if not all apply to tibial torsion as well

How I kept my 4.0 through junior year with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome

General CI stuff:

Sleeping when I'm tired. This advice sounds stupid, but lock-in culture makes losing sleep seem like a virtue. I have never performed better for pulling an all-nighter. They make me worse physically. When I'm tired, I also tend to be drawn to passive activities like scrolling, and I have less drive to study. It's 99% of the time worth it to take the L and sit a test refreshed than to try to cram overnight.

Getting used to studying everywhere and anywhere. I've studied in the hospital. I've studied in outpatient waiting rooms. I've studied in turbulence. It's odd, because this thing isn't even something I started doing consciously, but it's totally saved me. Novel environments almost help me lock in.

Having the courage to ask for help. I regularly need extensions, and when I've asked politely, all but one of my teachers have said yes. I think the trick here is a bit of good delivery and a bit of choosing your battles. When I think I can make a deadline with some very hard work and inconvenience, I push myself to make it, so I'm able to only ask for those extensions when I really need them. This being said, though--

Not everybody has to know exactly what's going on. At first, I had a lot of anxiety about explaining my health condition, but I started noticing when I didn't 'open the book,' even if some people (including teachers) were obviously still curious, I could avoid it. When people started asking why I was out for xyz amount of time, instead of going into detail about Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome or my hospital stay, I could just say I had a health situation and most people with any amount of basic decorum let it be. I struggled doing this to teachers at first, because I thought if they were expected to accomodate me, they were entitled to my personal medical information, but I eventually found leaving people with truthful but surface-level answers was what work best for me.

EDS-specific stuff:

I can't write for shit, my hands are too hypermobile. I have computer use on all assignments in my 504 plan, but a lot of teachers either don't fully digitize their curriculum or it's way less effective to study totally on a screen. I use a laptop, but a tablet is definitely a better way to work around this problem. In subjects like math, where paper is the only way to go, I self-accomodate with OT-prescribed finger braces and felt tip pens. Since you don't have to apply as much pressure with the latter as you do with a pencil, they make a world of difference.

Can't lie, Zofran is the reason I was able to attend probably a half the days I did.

Got a total of four really bad ankle sprains this year and one patellar dislocation. Having a pair of forearm crutches just lying around for when I can't bear weight is such a game changer. I am so much faster on them than conventional crutches, and they don't kill your armpits.

[jefferybezosisurmom]

Life update even though I’m the only one that reads this tbh

1. I got injured playing football (Ik shocking 🙄)

I was doing a drill and my teammates beside me fell on my knee so I got a patellar subluxation (partial knee cap dislocation) and I’m out for the season

2. Also football related, my team is EATING.

We went 6-0 regular season and we’re now going into the second round of playoffs before our finals

3. I did dash 2 math

I realized maybe it’s better to do something at a lower level that you’ll actually succeed in. Rather than trying to follow everyone else and struggle

4. I hate to admit it 🫣 but Lowkey I’m liking Shakespeare this year.

Macbeth actually eats and is 110% better than Romeo and Juliet

5. All my classes except for English are at 92+.

English tho I gotta lock in cause my mark’s at 79 and it’s because of dumb group projects so it’s not even entirely my fault. That’s also why I’m locking in for Macbeth so I can get an insanely high mark to boost my average. I cant stand having all my marks really high except for one. Especially when it’s sitting at 79 idk why but that number bothers me. Which is ironic since it’s my football number.

6. I’m at a point where I’m looking at uni’s

I obviously won’t say which university’s I’m looking at cause that’s like internet safety 101, but I’ll talk about the programs. So I want to become a junior high phys ed teacher which means 5-6 years of post secondary and two degrees. Obviously I need an education degree and I’m thinking I want to get my second degree in something like kinesiology, athletic therapy, or physical literacy. I’ve done sports med in high school and really enjoyed it and became passionate about it so I think those degrees would make sense for me.

[just-a-queer-fanboy]

Confession: I still can't ride a bike because as a kid one time I fell and (patellar instability) my kneecap didn't dislocate, but it popped out of place long enough for me to very clearly notice, but went back once I moved. And then I decided I wouldn't do anything that could risk injury because I thought all my joints worked like my kneecaps and would just. Shove themselves out of place. And so I didn't learn to ride a bike.

Anyway it's been like 8 years and I found out that fear wasn't irrational and I do in fact have Joints Shove Out Of Place Syndrome and I was right and everyone was wrong and I'm better than you

[sarandipitywrites]

one more stray document wrangled into draft 2, one step closer to being done with this draft of Dead Roots, Dark Water. definitely going to need a third draft, if the number of notes in my phone have anything to say about it. but for now, i'm pretty happy with the progress i'm making. also, it's rather difficult to pick out a snippet to share when you're editing the last few chapters. ANYWAY, here's what we've got today :)

cw: somewhat graphic depiction of injury and magical healing

What other choice was there? He didn't have a home, anymore — maybe he'd never had one — and this city, with its fire and neon and grime and blood, wasn't about to fill that void. Haven wasn't his home. But it was worth fighting for. Jak ran for the elevator shaft and jumped. "JAK!" Daxter's scream faded into the distance. Jak fell. He fell, and the ground came too soon. Before he could try to slow his fall, before he could channel, before he could try any of those half-baked ideas to keep himself alive, he struck metal with a resounding thud. He landed on one knee — pop — and rolled forward. He thrust his foot out to keep from hitting the wall. His ankle twisted — snap — against the metal. Pain stabbed through his legs as his body buckled to the floor. Groaning, he eased himself upright and stretched his legs out on the cold metal. Searing heat condensed into separate heartbeats as he felt along his limbs with green eco. The floor beneath him continued to fall. Fractured ankle. No displacement. Dislocated knee. Torn patellar tendon. He'd been lucky. The elevator trundled on. He gritted his teeth and ran his hand over his kneecap. It shifted under his touch, slipped to the side in a wet slurry of mutilated tissue. That would have to be first. He nudged the patella back into place, breathing deep through his nose. Bone slid on bone, making his lip curl and his stomach churn. Warmth pulsed from his heart to his fingers. The pungent scent of stargazer lilies filled the air. Tendon knitted together under his hand, a thousand fairy needles. The moment he finished, he moved to his other leg, to his ankle. Bone grew and meshed, bridging the empty space. Stretched-thin muscles and tendons tightened like the turn of a tuning key. He swallowed around the dryness of his tongue, pushed sweat-damp hair back from his face. Everything was silent, his blood pounding all the louder for it. It was wrong. The silence was wrong. He sat up straight, strained to hear over his own heart. No rumbling. No clanking of the elevator chain. They'd stopped.

Our expert physiotherapists specialize in addressing knee issues, helping you regain mobility, and enhancing your quality of life. Don't let knee pain hold you back any longer – take the first step towards a pain-free life today.

Common Causes of Knee Pain

Injury: Acute injuries, such as ligament tears (e.g., ACL, MCL), meniscus tears, fractures, or dislocations, can cause significant knee pain and instability. Overuse injuries, like tendinitis or bursitis, also lead to chronic knee pain.

Arthritis: Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other forms of arthritis can cause chronic knee pain. Osteoarthritis is the most common type, involving the wear and tear of cartilage in the knee joint, leading to pain, swelling, and stiffness.

Mechanical Problems: Conditions such as patellar tendinitis, chondromalacia patellae (runner's knee), or iliotibial band syndrome can cause knee pain. These issues often arise from misalignment, overuse, or biomechanical abnormalities.

Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions, including infections (septic arthritis), gout, or pseudogout, can lead to knee pain. These conditions typically cause inflammation and swelling within the knee joint, contributing to pain and discomfort.

How does physiotherapy help in reducing knee pain?

Strengthening Muscles: Physiotherapists design specific exercises to strengthen the muscles around the knee, particularly the quadriceps and hamstrings. Stronger muscles provide better support and stability to the knee joint, reducing strain and alleviating pain.

Improving Flexibility and Range of Motion: Stretching exercises and manual therapy techniques help improve the flexibility of the muscles and tissues around the knee. Enhanced flexibility reduces stiffness and allows for a greater range of motion, which can decrease pain and improve functionality.

Pain Relief Techniques: Physiotherapists use various modalities, such as ultrasound, electrical stimulation, heat and cold therapy, and massage, to reduce inflammation and pain. These techniques can provide immediate relief and facilitate the healing process.

Whether you are dealing with chronic knee pain or a nagging shoulder injury, choosing the right medical care is crucial.

Knee Joint Preservation Surgery: A Modern Solution

Knee joint preservation surgery is an innovative approach aimed at treating knee conditions while preserving the natural joint for as long as possible. Rather than opting for full knee replacement, patients can benefit from procedures like osteotomy, cartilage repair, and meniscal transplantation, depending on the severity of damage. This type of surgery is especially effective for younger, active individuals suffering from early-stage arthritis, ligament injuries, or cartilage wear.

Joint preservation not only maintains the structural integrity of the knee but also helps delay or prevent the need for total knee replacement. With advancements in arthroscopic techniques and biologic treatments like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell therapy, patients experience quicker recovery, less pain, and a more natural range of motion post-surgery.

Expert Orthopaedic Surgeons for Shoulder Issues

The shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in the human body, making it susceptible to injuries such as rotator cuff tears, dislocations, and frozen shoulder. Finding a qualified Orthopaedic surgeon shoulder specializing in shoulder injuries is essential to restoring function and minimizing discomfort.

Mumbai boasts some of the best shoulder surgeons who are internationally trained and equipped with the latest surgical techniques, including minimally invasive arthroscopy. These specialists handle a wide range of shoulder conditions, from sports injuries to degenerative disorders. Procedures such as shoulder arthroscopy, labral repair, and shoulder replacement are carried out with high success rates in Mumbai’s leading orthopaedic hospitals.

The Best Shoulder Surgeon in Mumbai

Choosing the best shoulder surgeon in Mumbai involves looking for professionals with a track record of successful surgeries, years of experience, and patient-centric care. Many renowned orthopaedic surgeons in Mumbai are affiliated with prestigious hospitals and offer personalized treatment plans. They use state-of-the-art diagnostics such as MRI and ultrasound to assess shoulder problems accurately and recommend both conservative and surgical options based on patient needs.

Seeking a Knee Specialist Doctor

If you're suffering from knee pain, stiffness, or limited mobility, consulting a knee specialist doctor is the first step toward recovery. These specialists conduct detailed evaluations, including physical exams and imaging tests, to diagnose conditions like osteoarthritis, ligament tears, and patellar instability. Treatment plans may involve physical therapy, medications, injections, or surgical intervention depending on the diagnosis.

Conclusion

Whether it’s your knee or shoulder that needs medical attention, Mumbai is home to top-tier orthopaedic professionals who offer comprehensive care. With advanced techniques in knee joint preservation surgery and expertise in shoulder conditions, patients can regain their mobility and quality of life.

Common Causes of Knee Pain and When to Consult an Orthopaedician

Knee pain is one of the most common complaints among people of all ages. Whether you're a student, working professional, athlete, or senior citizen, knee discomfort can severely affect your ability to move, work, and enjoy daily life. While occasional pain from a minor injury or overuse might resolve on its own, persistent or severe knee pain should never be ignored.

Understanding the root cause of your knee pain is the first step to effective treatment. In many cases, consulting an expert such as the best orthopaedician in Aligarh can make a significant difference in your recovery and long-term mobility.

Why Knee Pain Happens: An Overview

The knee is a complex joint made up of bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and fluid-filled sacs called bursae. Any of these components can be injured or affected by wear and tear, leading to pain, stiffness, or swelling.

Knee pain may develop suddenly (acute) due to injury, or gradually (chronic) due to underlying medical conditions or repetitive stress.

Common Causes of Knee Pain

1. Osteoarthritis

One of the leading causes of chronic knee pain, osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that results from the gradual wearing down of cartilage. Common in adults over 50, osteoarthritis leads to:

Joint stiffness, especially in the morning

Swelling and tenderness

Grinding or clicking sound in the knee

Early intervention from a specialist like the best orthopaedician in Aligarh can help manage symptoms and delay progression.

2. Ligament Injuries (ACL, PCL, MCL)

Athletes are especially prone to knee ligament injuries, particularly to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). These injuries often result from sudden twisting motions or direct impact. Symptoms may include:

A popping sound at the time of injury

Swelling within hours

Knee instability or "giving out"

Orthopaedicians typically recommend rest, bracing, physical therapy, or surgical repair depending on the severity.

3. Meniscus Tears

The meniscus is a rubbery cartilage that cushions the knee joint. A meniscus tear can occur during activities that involve twisting or sudden stops. It causes:

Sharp pain during movement

Swelling and stiffness

Difficulty straightening the knee

A proper diagnosis using imaging tests and a treatment plan from an orthopaedician is essential for healing.

4. Patellar Tendinitis (Jumper’s Knee)

This condition is common among runners, jumpers, and those involved in sports like basketball or volleyball. It involves inflammation of the tendon that connects the kneecap to the shinbone. Symptoms include:

Pain at the front of the knee

Worsening pain with activity

Tenderness below the kneecap

Ignoring patellar tendinitis can lead to tendon degeneration, so early consultation is advised.

5. Bursitis

Knee bursitis occurs when the bursae become inflamed due to repeated pressure or overuse. People who kneel frequently—such as gardeners or plumbers—are especially at risk. It causes:

Swelling over the kneecap

Warmth and redness

Pain when kneeling or climbing stairs

Most cases respond well to rest, ice, and anti-inflammatory treatment guided by an orthopaedician.

6. Fractures and Dislocations

A high-impact injury, fall, or accident can lead to broken bones or dislocated kneecaps. These are medical emergencies that cause:

Intense pain and inability to bear weight

Visible deformity

Swelling and bruising

Surgical intervention may be required, and recovery should be supervised by a skilled orthopaedic doctor.

7. Rheumatoid Arthritis

Unlike osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition that causes the immune system to attack joint linings. It can affect both knees and lead to:

Persistent joint pain and swelling

Fatigue and fever

Joint deformity over time

A multidisciplinary treatment plan involving medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes is essential and can be coordinated by an experienced orthopaedician.

When Should You See an Orthopaedician?

While not all knee pain requires specialist care, certain symptoms indicate that it’s time to see a professional—ideally the best orthopaedician in Aligarh:

Pain that persists for more than a week

Difficulty walking or bearing weight

Visible swelling or deformity

Instability or buckling of the knee

Limited range of motion

Knee pain accompanied by fever

History of knee injuries or surgery

How an Orthopaedician Can Help

An orthopaedician will perform a detailed physical examination and may order imaging tests like X-rays, MRI, or ultrasound. Based on the diagnosis, your treatment options may include:

Medication to reduce pain and inflammation

Physical therapy to strengthen muscles and improve flexibility
