Subluxation and dislocation risk factors can affect a specific demographic, primarily young women with hypermobility, and athletes who may encounter more traumatic dislocations during sports activities. While subluxation and dislocations can occur in men and boys, it's less common. Individuals within these groups tend to share common anatomical variations recognized as risk factors. These include: Shallow or Absent Groove on the Trochlea or Femur: When the groove (track) that guides the patella is shallow or absent, it results in less control over the patella's movement within the joint.

Patella Dislocation Patients with patellofemoral tracking issues are vulnerable to patella dislocation and subluxation. In subluxation, the patella partially slips out of the femur's groove, while in patella dislocation, it fully dislocates, damaging soft tissues. The patella typically dislocates outward, often tearing or stretching the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL). First-time patella dislocations often occur during sports, causing the knee to buckle, similarly to ACL tears. Key signs include knee swelling and an apprehensive reaction to patella manipulation. MRI scans post-dislocation reveal ligament damage, bone bruises, and cartilage injury, aiding in proper diagnosis and treatment
