The patella (knee cap) is a flat, rectangular bone that protects the knee joint and helps the leg move more efficiently. A healthy patella glides up and down a groove at the head of your femur (thighbone). Overuse, muscle imbalances or weaknesses can cause the kneecap to become misaligned
There are a number of conditions that can cause pain when the patella moves.
Your surgeon will determine which treatment is right for you, based on your specific condition.
