Patellar instability is a common debilitating injury affecting young active individuals. It accounts for approximately 3% of all knee injuries. We report a family, of which five members across three generations, who suffered from autosomal dominant familial recurrent patellar dislocation as well as short stature. All of them have recurrent patellar dislocations before the age of 15. The affected patients in all three generations have been genetically screened. Genotypical evaluation revealed a balanced translocation of chromosomes 15 and 20.
