Kneecap Pain and Injury

Kaelyn Gordon

I hurt my knee way back in the 6th grade (now in 10th grade) by dislocating it. I underwent surgery from a local surgeon and he did a good job. With no more dislocations after, I was feeling well until I started to have some pain. I knew in order to get back on the court I had to go to the best. So that is what I did. I had surgery July of 2020, and I was able to be back for the full season of my school basketball team! I am now on my travel team playing basketball, pain-free!
