Kneecap (Patella) Stabilisation
At London Knee Care, kneecap (patella) stabilisation surgery is performed to treat recurrent kneecap dislocations and chronic instability. The procedure strengthens and realigns the structures that support the patella, helping prevent it from slipping out of place. Using advanced, minimally invasive techniques, we restore knee stability, reduce pain, and help patients return to normal activity with greater confidence and comfort.
About Kneecap (Patella) Stabilisation
At London Knee Care, we specialise in kneecap (patella) stabilisation surgery, a procedure designed to treat recurrent kneecap dislocations and chronic instability. The patella plays a crucial role in knee movement, and when it shifts out of place, it can cause pain, swelling, and weakness. We use advanced, minimally invasive techniques to realign and stabilise the kneecap, improving movement and preventing future dislocations.
This treatment is often performed using keyhole or soft-tissue reconstruction methods, helping patients regain confidence, strength, and stability in their knee joint.

When Is Kneecap (Patella) Stabilisation Required?
Patella stabilisation surgery is recommended for patients who experience repeated kneecap dislocations, chronic instability, or pain that affects walking, running, or bending. It is often considered when the kneecap frequently slips out of place, pain and swelling persist despite physiotherapy, or the knee feels unstable during movement.
Structural misalignment or ligament damage can also make surgery necessary. At London Knee Care, we perform detailed imaging and biomechanical assessments to identify the exact cause of instability and determine the most effective surgical approach for long-term stability and recovery.
