Patella (kneecap) Dislocation
The kneecap is held in place by a group of ligaments and muscles. A dislocation occurs when these ligaments and muscles are overstretched or torn, and the kneecap slides out of the groove.

Typically, this movement happens suddenly. You are likely to experience sharp pain, and you might be unable to stretch your knee.

You may have:
Fractures around Knee
Fractures around the knee implies a fracture in one or more of the components making up the knee. Fractures of the knee could be dangerous, especially when they lead to compartment syndrome, also known as neurovascular compromise.

Knee fractures could be isolated to specific parts of the knee joint or the whole section.

The symptoms could be an aggregation of injuries to the individual components of the knee joint.
