Abstract
Patellofemoral instability is a condition characterized by repeated dislocation or subluxation of the patella secondary to minimal trauma. This condition is known to be more common in females, and it is often bilateral. The reported incidence of patella dislocation in the population aged between 10 and 17 years old is reported at 29 per 100,000 [1]. After a first-time dislocation, the rate of recurrence following nonoperative treatment ranges between 15 and 44 % [2, 3].
