Caleb, Vann, and Luke sit down again with Dr. Rob Willson to discuss a serious problem in our adolescent athletes - patellar instability.  What happens when the kneecap moves out of its natural groove in the thigh bone (femur), either by contact or non-contact?  This is a serious injury in the young athlete and proper early management is the key to preserving the all-important articular cartilage that lives on the underside of the kneecap.  

Dr. Rob Willson is an orthopedic surgeon with Augusta University.  He is fellowship-trained in Sports Medicine and is the team physician for the Augusta Greenjackets and all Augusta University athletics.

Caleb Mellinger, PT,DPT,OCS, Luke Heusel, PT,DPT,OCS, and Vann Jordan, PT,DPT, OCS, all work at Peak Rehabilitation Fitness and Performance in Augusta, GA.
