Hello and thanks you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein and I will try to help you as much as I can with my answer.

Yes,people who get patella dislocation once,have greater risk that it willl happen again and again. This is caused by weak patellar ligaments and risk of dislocation may be reduced by quadriceps exercises. However,sometimes,orthopedic procedures may be required for stabilisation.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us.
