Patellofemoral dislocation is when the patella jumps completely out of the walls of the groove in the femur bone, making the joint look horribly deformed.

Reduction of patellofemoral dislocation
The dislocation may reduce spontaneously at the time, or it may need to be reduced under sedation or anaesthesia.
