Kneecap Instability Medial vs Lateral Patellar Dislocation

Your kneecap is the largest sesamoid bone in your body and is kept in place by a couple tendons, your quadriceps tendon and patellar tendon. A sesamoid bone is a small independent bone or bony nodule developed in a tendon where it passes over an angular structure, typically in your hands and feet.
