Patella Baja (Patella Infera) – Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment

Understanding the Stability & Strength of Your Knee

Introduction

Patella Baja, also known as Patella Infera, is a condition where the kneecap (patella) sits lower than its normal position in the knee joint. This abnormal positioning can lead to pain, stiffness, and difficulty in knee movement. It is commonly associated with knee surgery complications, trauma, or degenerative conditions affecting the knee joint.

Prevention of Patella Baja

  • Proper Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
  • Maintaining Quadriceps Flexibility

Treatment Options for Patella Baja

Non-Surgical Treatment (Mild to Moderate Cases)
  • Physical Therapy: Stretching and strengthening exercises to improve knee mobility.
  • Manual Therapy: Helps break down scar tissue and improve patellar movement.
  • Anti-Inflammatory Medications: NSAIDs like ibuprofen to reduce pain and swelling.
Surgical Treatment (Severe or Chronic Cases)
  • Quadriceps Lengthening Procedures: Improves patellar mobility by loosening tight quadriceps muscles.
  • Patellar Tendon Reconstruction: Corrects tendon shortening and restores normal patellar height.
  • Arthroscopic Surgery: Removes excess scar tissue and improves knee movement.
Recovery & Rehabilitation
  • Gradual Knee Strengthening: Exercises to restore function and prevent recurrence.
  • Stretching & Mobilization: Helps reduce stiffness and improve flexibility.
  • Low-Impact Activities: Swimming and cycling to maintain mobility without stressing the knee.
Prevention of Patella Baja
