A series of 12\u00a0knees in 11 patients were referred to an orthopaedic surgeon with a diagnosis of recurrent lateral patella dislocation. Three knees had undergone patella realignment surgery with continuance of symptoms. Eight patients had prior magnetic resonance images read as no meniscal pathology and no acute patella\/patella retinacular injury. All patients presented for a consult with a similar history.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>Under anaesthesia, all knees had a stable patella as judged by physical examination. At the time of surgery, six patients had a frank tear in the lateral meniscus, all of which were readily displaceable. Six knees showed a displaceable lateral meniscus with attenuation but not a visible frank tear. Ten menisci were treated with repair, and two knees underwent partial lateral meniscectomies. Patient follow\u2010up of minimally 18\u00a0months revealed no further episodes of \u201cknee\u2010cap dislocation\u201d or symptoms of catching and locking.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusions<\/jats:title>The clinician treating a patient with a history of a knee locking in flexion should have a high index of suspicion for a lateral meniscus tear or an unstable hypermobile lateral meniscus, despite patient report of perceived patella movement. History of symptoms occurring in knee flexion and attention to patella physical examination should be key factors in this diagnostic conundrum.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Level of evidence<\/jats:title>Retrospective chart review, Level IV.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00167-013-2729-z","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,10,30]],"date-time":"2013-10-30T02:28:43Z","timestamp":1383100123000},"page":"2315-2319","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Displacing lateral meniscus masquerading as patella dislocation"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Elizabeth A.","family":"Arendt","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery University of Minnesota 2450 Riverside Avenue South, Suite R200 55454 Minneapolis MN USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cristi\u00e1n A.","family":"Fontbot\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery Pontificia Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Chile Santiago Chile"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sara R.","family":"Rohr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology University of Minnesota 55454 Minneapolis MN USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,10,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/036354657900700402"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.rcl.2007.08.009"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00167\u2010004\u20100581\u2010x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0749\u20108063(03)00749\u20107"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5435\/00124635-199607000-00003"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5435\/00124635-200911000-00004"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1259\/bjr\/25044103"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-199274080-00008"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3928\/01477447\u201020120621\u201031"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2010.07.025"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0749\u20108063(97)90185\u20107"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2011.08.311"}],"container-title":["Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/link.springer.com\/content\/pdf\/10.1007\/s00167-013-2729-z.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s00167-013-2729-z\/fulltext.html","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/esskajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1007\/s00167-013-2729-z","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,19]],"date-time":"2025-10-19T11:30:21Z","timestamp":1760873421000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/esskajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1007\/s00167-013-2729-z"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2013,10,31]]},"references-count":12,"journal-issue":{"issue":"10","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2014,10]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1007\/s00167-013-2729-z"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/s00167-013-2729-z","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0942-2056","1433-7347"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0942-2056","type":"print"},{"value":"1433-7347","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2013,10,31]]}}}
