Abstract
A 21-year-old man presented to the clinic with long-standing problems with both knees. From the age of 7 years old, he had had pain and stiffness in his knees. He gave up soccer at the age of 12 years and martial arts at the age of 14 years; the latter following a number of falls directly onto his knee. At the age of 14, he dislocated his left patella. His left knee was never been normal after that. His right knee had been a problem over the previous 2 years with recurrent patellar dislocations.
