all the time but she will keep it off the ground often. After playing hard she might even limp or avoid using it.
Her knee was extremely unstable and would pop out if you just pushed it gently with your finger.
This condition could lead to a ripped ACL (which we though she had - see first post), and severe arthritus later, which is irreversable.
So, after much consultation and painful consideration, we decided to go for the surgery. She was extremely active and playful but after the "incident" she stopped being the playful 2-1/2 year old, due to no confidence in that knee.
