Why Your Kneecap Dislocates: MPFL Injury, Anatomy & Treatment Explained

The MPFL is a thin structure, but it decides whether your kneecap stays steady or slips out with every step.

When it’s damaged, the knee loses its natural guidance — movements feel unstable, the kneecap drifts, and even simple activities become uncomfortable.

For some people, the problem runs deeper: the shape of the trochlea, the alignment of the leg, or small anatomical variations can increase the risk of repeated dislocations.
Reconstruction of the MPFL helps bring back control, restoring the stability the knee has been missing.
