Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My knee cap slips out of place while standing. If I lock my knee it pops out. I have had MRI and seen two surgeons and tried PT. I use a brace since the knee collapses from time to time while walking down stairs. Any tips? Oh I have orthotics and a knee brace I use when I know I have lots of walking or standing.
