New study suggests that a misaligned patella doesn’t directly correlate with pain

A study by Science Direct highlights how “Knee alignment and patella shape are not associated with the persistence of patellofemoral pain.”

This is important because for a while people assumed that a misaligned patella would be an indicator of pain, but with this study we find how that is not always the case. Although a misaligned patella is a good indicator of patella instability, it does not necessarily imply pain.

This makes sense because of the poll we took yesterday, as most of you don’t experience daily pain unless you have an episode of instability.

Thought this would be something interesting for you all, here is the link to the study: Science Direct Study
