It most often affects children and adolescents because their kneecap has more cartilage and developing bone. It is typically discussed in orthopedics, sports medicine, emergency care, and physical therapy as a pediatric knee injury. It matters because it can disrupt the knee\u2019s extensor mechanism, which is needed to straighten the leg."}
