The patella is most likely to dislocate at 20° to 30° of knee flexion as this is the point where the lateral retinaculum loses its tension and the patella is not fully engaged within the femoral groove. Beyond this range, the patella is more stable due to increased tension in the medial retinaculum and the deepening of the femoral groove.
