What does a sliding patella indicate? A 14 years old girl said to have frequent ache near the patella. Often she claimed her patella suddenly moves when walking causing extreme pain. What is this the diagnosis and the best treatment for her?

May be due to disloaction of patella...or tearing of ligaments. And mensicus or due to wekening of vastus mediallias which cover the patellla mostly and provide fixation to it on the medial side

A cramp bandaid would work initially, and if the pain continues x-ray imaging and orthologist consultation is suggested

May be ligamentum patelle is ruptured due to trauma

It may also be a congenital issue. You may need to do a lateral ligament release.

It could be a hyper mobile patella or a case of bad patella-femoral syndrome
