Dr Naadir Bismilla explains the difference between a patella dislocation and a patella subluxation.
Both involve the kneecap moving out of place — but a full dislocation means it completely shifts out of its groove, while a subluxation is only a partial movement that often slides back on its own.
Understanding the difference helps in diagnosing the right treatment and preventing future knee injuries.
