Had this surgery done 3 times and my knee still dislocates!! I’m working on muscle strength now
Got it 15 years ago as a teenager. Dislocation around once every half year because of basketball. It got bad to the point that it happened during swimming contests. Zero dislocation afterwards, but it started feeling some discomfort. Seems that the Vastus medialis is weak again and over reliant on surgical fix. Keep your therapy up! :)
I’ve had these since I was 11…. Just found out today that it was dislocations I’m totally getting surgery!
I’m 16 years old and have dislocated my knee 3 times. Once on the left and twice on the right. I play a high level of football or soccer and I don’t want to give up as it is my favourite thing to do. I think I may have to undergo surgery as I don’t want it to reoccur. Thanks for this video , it helped give me some reassurance
How are you now? Did you undergo surgery? I have similar problem i play basketball and been going to the gym regularly and havent had any dislocations for 2+ years until few days ago when i slipped very badly on the court and my knee kinda twisted and it went into very bad position and the kneecap dislocated.
@@IgorDevicAnimations no mate, because of covid Ive been on a waiting list since January to see a doctor. Was at football pre season however I can feel my knees getting weak and not going back as I can see them dislocating.
@@fraserallison29 ikr its so frustrating watching others playing while your knees are fucked up and knowing that most of the time you can't give 100% effort.
@@IgorDevicAnimations nothing worse to be honest, especially if you know that you can help or make a difference.
@@IgorDevicAnimations the worst is when no one takes it seriously and laugh when you say you couldnt go pro because of a knee injury
i’m 14 i have bad knees and my right knee has dislocated 2 or 3 times just this year
The really frustrating thing is I am 16 and have dislocated my knee 12 times in my life caught on my school cctv camera once just walking down steps and it popped out.. and I went to the doctors to get it sorted out and they just told me to stop playing sports if you keep dislocating you knee.. however 70% of the time it dislocates in everyday life.. I’m so clueless with what to do because the pain is inbareable
Go to another surgeon and explain your situation. That sounds shit as man
Same here I would recommend surger
At 5 my knees started dislocating and even post surgery they kept dislocating and man it hurts
I underwent this surgery 3x was worth it since then I haven't dislocated a knee when before it was daily
@Unstoppable Force why you ask??
@Unstoppable Force no I’m not gay I play sports and had floating knee caps
@The Unstoppable FORCE Lmao weirdo
Damm why 3 time
@@kyleking5691 now it’s 4x but basically my knees were really bad and the mpfl ligament was destroyed in both knees then when I had it repaired it dislocated and tore so it had to be redone
I started dislocating my knee from the age of 16.
Now being 22 I already did drill my cartilage and obviously because of my profession which is dancing, I was able to dance for around 3 months till I dislocated it again. In total I have dislocated around 6 times and the pain was always there and the blockage. So now I will have a complete stabilisation of the patella, because if I want to dance with freedom and not worry of having any further damage, I have to do it.
Hey is it better now? Asking cz am about to make dance my major too it's my dream my goal but just cz of my weak knees am losing confidence my patella slides when I dance and it's so sad 😭

I’m 13 now and have had my knees dislocated a couple times since I was 6 the doctors say I should try physio first and if that doesn’t work they’ll do surgery I really hope I can run sometime cuz I can’t remember the last time I did
I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm 19 years old, and in the same phase as you. I've had a few dislocations and a few sub-disclocations, and I'm considering surgery. The doctor still thinks I should try physio, but it hasn't helped in the last few years. I wish you the best of luck
@@maureen2193 oh thank u! I’m sorry to hear that I wish u the best of luck as well
Same 13 years old dislocated my knee😭😭 and happen again.. my age at 14
Well back!! I’m getting surgery in 2 months :)) I’m excited to see if I can fix my knees now. Just turned 14!
Same for me. I had it one week ago and doctors are saying to take rest. But it will be recurrent. So I am planning to have a surgery soon. Btw do you still have reccurent dislocation??
I am 17 years old and it happened 3 times at gap of 8 months 2 times in left knee and 1 in right one. Please guide can I play cricket again? because it is not fractured but the ligaments are weak doctor had recommended for the execise.. 😢
How about people that are 65 years old?
I’ve dislocated my patella 5 times (2 on right and 3 on left) and my most recent one was 3 weeks ago. I am so sick of always being injured from this. I’m meeting with a surgeon next week and I really want surgery. I will do almost anything to make sure it doesn’t happen a 6th time. Plus I have chronic Osgood-Schlatters in both of my knees. I can’t take it anymore. I hope everyone else’s knee problems get fixed :)
Just wear knee braces everyday and start working out with ur knee that’s what I did
so what did the surgeon say
I pleaded with my orthopedic doctor to give me surgery, i dislocated it once, but i became awfully depressed sitting at home. I was such an active person and i went from that to nothing for 8 weeks in a donjoy brace. Doctor said maybe if it happens a second time but he wants me to continue with my physio so it helps to strengthen my leg and keep my patella in...
My knees have been dislocating since I was 12 I’m now 26 they both pop out, I would say well over 40 times…Usually pops out and pops back in but a couple times it’s gotten stuck and I’ve had to pop it in myself it’s so painful and i think I need to get surgery I don’t wanna live my life like this anymore
I had my surgery 6 weeks ago
@@cherissevocage2928 any updates on how that went for you? I’m 16 and have fully dislocated mine once in hockey and then five months later in kickboxing it popped out and then back in by itself and then two months later (two days ago) it did the same thing while wrestling in a bouncy castle with some friends at a party. Each time it happened while I wasn’t wearing a brace and doing high contact activities which is my fault but I feel like even before the third time my knee is so weak it moves easily and doesn’t seem to improve much in strength
@@carsonkuepfer7493 my recovery went well. I have no pains and walking well with my surgical screws in place. I'm glad I had the surgery and it is very painful. You're going to need emotional support too because it can affect your mental health and cause social anxiety. Which is what I'm dealing with now.
i dislocated my patella once, on the 8th of May. Im so disppointed that my orthopedic doctor wont give me surgery. I became terribly depressed when i dislocated my patella. If it happens again id rather die. The lying around, the heavy black donjoy brace. I was living in misery. I can walk fine now but im always waiting on that slip or trip to happen. @@cherissevocage2928
I suffered from this at 18 (36 now). My right knee would dislocate a lot. Very horrible. I had corrective surgery and even though it never dislocated I had preventative surgery on my left knee 18 months later.
Ironically pain never went away and I discovered only 6 years or so ago that I had fibromyalgia, so while I don’t get any dislocations anymore, I cannot walk properly, have to use walking sticks and a wheelchair and am in extreme pain but I would still take this over dislocations. My knee would swell with blood.
I’m an exception though, no one knew I had fibromyalgia from a early age so it was not foreseen as an issue to have the surgery.
Thanks for the advice I have the same problem as a teenager I had it from my childhood till now but soon I'm going for my surgery I'm hella nervous but I can't go against it too
@@Ava-knights you will be fine. Talk to your doctor and they should be able to explain everything to you to calm your nerves. It’s a relatively simple procedure nowadays. But sending hugs for a speedy recovery from it (and brace yourself for the physio afterwards, it’s actually the worst thing about an operation like this).
@@Ava-knightsjust to say though, my issue with my knees was different to most peoples. I couldn’t walk until I was 3 years old, so I was crawling everywhere. This made it so the muscles of my knees didn’t form properly meaning the muscle was too strong one side and too weak the other. My surgery corrected this by cutting the muscle on the strong side and stitching it tighter on the weak side. The fear is now though, if my knees ever dislocate again, that’s it. I’ll never walk again as it will tear my muscles to pieces in my knees.
@@Psion_Phoenix thanks for you advise again I'll try to.....
@@Ava-knights You will be ok. You doctor's will take care of you. Sending hugs.
Is this surgery a 2 or 3 way procedure?
or a duplex or triple bypass
I suffered knee dislocation from age of 12 and got recurrent dislocation once in a year but it comes to place automatically but this year after 4 years i got patella dislocate while doing lunges and it cannot came to place so i move with my self and it was so painful..horrible
Now doctor suggest me surgery...please tell me it's effective or not??
It's very effective. Redislocation chances are less than 5 percent with MPFL reconstruction
Did you get it? It's a common treatment but there are many reasons why knees dislocate
Boi I ain’t gonna damn get surgery
LMAOO
What if it happens after
That's what I'm scared of
Tessa C nah you gotta find a new doctor. Is your knee locked from straightening ? This is what happened to me. The exact name for it was a Bucket Handle Meniscus Tear. It would pop in and out at first and then it got locked in the sense it hurts when you bend it past a certain point. I’ve had Surgery, they took the piece of meniscus locking my knee out and after 3 weeks of physical therapy i’m walking normally.
Tessa C usually happens after a twist or sudden movement at least for me
@@zqw9358 with good physical therapy after it should be fine. For the first 2 weeks after my surgery it was a little painful, just take the meds they give u and rest. After the 1/2 week of resting after the surgery u will start very basic physical therapy and over time once you build back up muscle in the thigh and other parts of the leg you should be fine. I’ve had 1 Meniscus surgery and 1 ACL tear surgery and after 5-6 month, today i’m fine!!!
@@aidananimation123 Your condition is different to recurrent patella dislocation. But with patella dislocation you can have an osteochondral fracture floating in the knee which can cause it to lock up also.
That’s exactly what happend to my knee
mine happened in February and still get bother with it
@@samuelmiles4423 bother with what? How is it now brother can you sport?
@@zqw9358 I had to get surgery bc one day while playing soccer it popped out and wouldn’t go back in I was just stuck with a straight locked knee so be careful if ur dealing with it
Thats what im dealing with know, its been 4months now and im still in it.. i just want my life back! Surgery or not!
@@bipsi15 best doing the surgery...I did my surgery 6 weeks ago
