PATELLA TRACKING DISORDER CAUSES AND SOLUTIONS

Dec 14th 2019

What is a patella tracking disorder?

Patella Tracking Disorders refer to any type of movement in the wrong direction from the patella (kneecap) while the knee bends. The most common problem is lateral tracking, which is when the patella moves too far toward the outside of the joint. Other tracking disorders include medial tracking, subluxation, tilt, and glide. The right knee brace will prevent the patella from moving in the wrong direction.

What are the symptoms of a patella tracking disorder?

Patella tracking disorders usually result in pain felt on the front of the knee, especially while exercising, squatting, or going up or down stairs. There may also be a clicking, popping, or catching feeling as the knee bends. If the patella is completely dislocated, then there may be additional swelling and pain around the knee and the kneecap will be visibly out of place.

What is the best knee brace for patella tracking disorders?

The best knee braces to treat patella tracking problems will utilize adjustable tension straps and compression to push the patella into its correct groove in the joint. BioSkin has a range of patella tracking bracing options to provide different levels of joint stability.

Testimonials

I recently bought a knee brace from Bioskin. The service was amazing. Kelly was pleasant, helpful, and very patient. She wanted to make sure I got the best brace that would work for me. She never made me feel rushed. She wasn't sure I had the best brace and she consulted with Angela. Angela was knowledgeable, informative, and also very patient. The brace was helpful, but unfortunately it was too tight after working all night. They exchanged it the following day without any hassle. I highly recommend Bioskin and would definitely use them again if needed.

Staff very helpful and we had to call a head to see what time they closed because we had drive across town and because it was almost 4pm we called them at 3:40pm and my daughter really needed a hand brace because she just found out she is a high risk pregnancy and has pregnancy induced carpal tunnel so she really needed a brace so we called and they said they closed at 4pm but because we had to drive there they stayed open till we got there and she was able to get her brace. THANK YOU FOR BEING SO HELPFUL AND KIND.

Went with wife for her bone-on-bone knee issues. Angela and Terri were incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and so nice. They identified two that best fit my wife's description of issues and after fitting them, she chose the one that was best for her. They stand behind their products...if you need a brace, this is the place.
