Types of Instability

1.  AP Instability

2.  Varus Valgus Instability

3.  Global Instability

4. Frank Dislocation

Definition

Repeated dislocation of patella with minimal trauma

- 15-20% of paediatric acute patella dislocations

- more common girls 

- often bilateral

Dislocation occurs unexpectedly when quadriceps contracted with knee in flexion 

Direction

Technique

Posterior Portal

- make slightly inferior and lateral compare to normal

- inspect joint

Non-operative
