About Congenital patella dislocation
What is Congenital patell Dislocation?
Congenital patella dislocation is a condition in which the kneecap (patella) is out of its normal position. It is a rare condition that is present at birth and is caused by a malformation of the bones of the knee joint. Symptoms may include knee pain, instability, and difficulty walking. Treatment may include physical therapy, bracing, and in some cases, surgery.
What are the symptoms of Congenital patell Dislocation?
The most common symptoms of congenital patella dislocation include:
-Knee pain
-Knee instability
-Knee swelling
-Knee deformity
-Difficulty walking
-Difficulty bending the knee
-Knee clicking or popping
-Knee locking or catching
-Knee buckling or giving way
What are the causes of Congenital patell Dislocation?
Congenital patella dislocation is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Genetic factors include a family history of the condition, certain genetic syndromes, and certain genetic mutations. Environmental factors include trauma, abnormal development of the hip or knee joint, and certain medical conditions such as cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy.
What are the treatments for Congenital patell Dislocation?
1. Physical therapy: Physical therapy can help strengthen the muscles around the knee and improve range of motion.
2. Bracing: Bracing can help stabilize the knee and reduce the risk of further dislocation.
3. Surgery: Surgery may be necessary to correct the underlying cause of the dislocation. This may involve realigning the bones of the knee or reconstructing the ligaments.
4. Medication: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may be prescribed to reduce pain and inflammation.
