  • The kneecap or patella rides along the front of the femur. (webmd.com)
  • But patients who injure or aggravate their patellofemoral joint , where the end of the femur (the long bone in the thigh) meets the patella (the kneecap), or those who develop arthritis in this portion of the knee only, often have specific complaints such as pain with stairs especially descending, pain with prolonged sitting, and pain going from a sitting to a standing position.

Subluxation3
  • Subsequent research has focused on anatomic and biomechanical causes of damage to the patellofemoral joint, such as shear and compressive forces, abnormal patellar tracking, and patella subluxation and tilting. (medscape.com)

  • When you have a patella subluxation, your kneecap still fits in its groove and you can still walk. (clevelandclinic.org)
PFPS11
