Here at Barnes and Noble on a lazy Sunday, just making sure I know everything about mentioned in Dr. Rubinā€™s new book. It is geared towards the general public, so I was not surprised to find that his chapter was a nice review of what I already know. But Iā€™m a doctor who is never too proud to keep learning!

4 years ago, the day before my bday, I had cervical spine surgery. At the time, my doctors asked me if I had had trauma bc my MRI looked bad. I hadn't. My neurosurgeon told me after the surgery that he had done over 4000 cases and mine was the worst left sided herniation he had ever seen. I asked why. No one knew. So I started searching for my own answers. And that started what turned into a full time job of learning about Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and all the related conditions!

OUCH!

Today I was just turning to clean my Pilates reformer machine after class, and I suddenly got a patellar subluxation. (Patella = kneecap. Subluxation = coming partially out of the joint). Unfortunately, this happens to me frequently (unrelated to Pilates or any particular exercise), and itā€™s painful! I got a classmate to pull my leg straight to reduce it.

Argh! Itā€™s humbling to admit you havenā€™t been listening to your own advice. So hereā€™s my post on patellar subluxation and now I have zero excuse not to work on this.

Why it happens?
It can happen because of differences in the way the kneecap (patella) sits in the groove (trochlea). But for us hypermobile people, itā€™s usually bc our ligaments are slacking on the job (ha ha - see what I did there? šŸ˜œ). The patella may move out to the side of the body when the medial patellofemoral ligament is too lax.

How to prevent it?
It is very important to strengthen the quadriceps muscles, especially the inner group called the vastus medialis obliquus (VMO). Strengthening the gluteal complex ā€” particularly the hip abductors and external rotators ā€” also helps to ensure the knee moves in proper alignment.

Conversely, stretching of the IT (iliotibial) band, lateral quadriceps, hamstrings, and calf muscles can prevent the patella from being pulled to the side.

Whatā€™s wrong with our US healthcare system?
I mean, I could do a whole lecture series on this, but this was the one that was driving me crazy today.

The joint is not tested as part of the criteria for generalized - but maybe it should be? What do you think? Which other joints should be included in the new criteria?

Disclaimer. This was made by AI and we do not have data on exact numbersā€¦ BUT it makes the conceptual point of the overlap between hypermobility, neurodivergence, and being part of the LGBTQIA+ community. All of these groups are at risk for bias and medical trauma, and may be understandably anxious to come to the doctor. That is why I pride myself on taking time, making the patient feel safe and seen and heard. šŸ§  šŸŒˆ šŸ³ļøā€āš§ļø ā¤ļø
