Congenital dislocation of patella?

can any one tell me of a website that tells you in plain english what congenital dislocation is and about operations and what is the long term outcome for some with this

Haven't got a website, but look up hyper mobility sites too. I have congential dislocation of shoulders and hypermobilty is linked to it.

I have had several ops and years of physio to train my muscles to work in pairs and keep my shoulders in place. Most ops were key hole, so nothing to scary.

At the end of the day being able to dislocate something on cue is a gross out factor or a cool party piece.

that's on injuries, Are you talking about a baby? Some people do fine without a kneecap. I can see how learning to crawl would pose problems.
