The exercises may include doing straight leg raises. This involves moving the leg up and down while the leg is in a straight position. Your physical therapist may have some more suggestions. Your physician may ask that your child stay away from any activities or sports that are known to cause the kneecap to slide out of place. Your physician may suggest surgery if the dislocations are extremely frequent.
Some progressive arthritis can develop from a badly damaged kneecap.
