Patella Alta

Patella Alta is a condition where the kneecap sits higher than usual on the knee. Rather than sitting within the deep walls of the groove in the bottom of the femur, it rests above the standard position and receives less stability from the thigh bone.

People with Patella Alta are more at risk of patella tracking issues  and a Patella Knee Brace can often help.

In cases such as this, getting a medical professional to assess your knee and help choose an appropriate patella brace is vital.
