What Cause Knee To Pop Out Of Place In 3 Year Old?

My daughter is 3 years old and her knee pops in and out of place. The first time it happened was about 6 months ago. It is hereditary I have the same problem, is there anything we can do now to fix it? I know how annoying it is to watch how u play or step in a hole. I just dont wont her to be as miserable as I am now just being 27 years old. Should I go ahead and take her to surgeon? I know when my mom took me to surgeon they told her that they wouild have to break my knee and totally realign it.

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi, If I were your treating Doctor for this case , I would come up with next possibility:
I totally agree with you, at the first ,lease perform MRI of knee. Then consult your child at orthopedist . You can discuss endoscopy surgery with your treating orthopedist . It is just 1 day in the hospital and next day she will be at home.
Start on MRI and get back to me in 2 to 3 weeks. Wish you good health.
