Abstract
A 17-year-old boy presented with a long-standing history of problems with both legs culminating in a dislocating left patella in flexion. He was not sure of a specific first episode. He was still playing sports, notably soccer, on a regular basis and was able to cycle. However, his control of the left knee and ability to play sports were progressively deteriorating. He was otherwise fit and well and taking no medication. No one else in the family had a history of patellar dislocation.
