What Causes Flapping Of Knee Cap After An Injury?
I have weeks ago, I banged my knee on an object and I thought I had bruised the bone and the weight was causing my pain. The pain gradually got better so I put it down to the bone healing but I am just curious as too; if it is something more. I have now straightened my legs one at a time, so the knee cap is completely tucked in supporting the leg, upon touching and feeling my right leg the knee cap is solid but when I do the same thing to the injured knee, it can move, be pushed in, as if the knee cap is flapping... Could I get an online consult on this?

Hello,
Your symptoms are not suggestive of any serious medical condition. As long as you have no pain, there is no reason to panic. Anyway, an online consultation with an orthopedist would help clarify better everything.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
