And there is no cure to this except surgery and he wouldn't recommend it.
When my Teddi was at UT having surgery for her liver shunt I asked about it and the doctor told me that when they are so small their knee socket is so small that there isn't much to hold it in and it tends to pop out. He said that unless they are in pain or having trouble walking you don't need to be concerned.
