Frequently Asked Questions

What causes the kneecap to track incorrectly? + –

Muscle imbalances around the hip and thigh, structural variations (like flat feet or knock-knees), and past injuries can all disrupt how the patella glides in its groove. Repetitive stress and poor form in sports—particularly running or jumping—may also trigger patellar tracking issues.

How long does it take to fix patellar tracking problems? + –

Recovery varies. Mild cases may respond within a few weeks of rest, bracing, and targeted exercises, while long-standing misalignments might need months of muscle conditioning, therapy, and supportive braces. Following a consistent rehab plan is vital for lasting improvement.

Can patellar tracking braces help with runner’s knee or jumper’s knee? + –

Yes. By maintaining proper kneecap alignment and relieving pressure on the patellar tendon, these braces often reduce anterior knee pain. Combined with low-impact exercises and flexibility work, braces support a quicker return to pain-free activity.

Which brace is best for moderate-to-severe patellofemoral pain? + –

Look for a hinged or dedicated patellofemoral support featuring adjustable buttresses or straps to manage kneecap alignment. A product like the Breg 20.50 Patellofemoral Brace lets you fine-tune patellar stabilization, easing discomfort during movement.

Do I need surgery for patellar tracking problems? + –

Most patellar tracking issues respond well to non-surgical strategies, like bracing, muscle strengthening, and activity modifications. Surgery may be considered if conservative measures fail or if there’s a significant structural defect. Consulting an orthopedic specialist and following a comprehensive rehab plan typically leads to improvement without invasive intervention.
