what is a disc prolapse/protrusion?
factors/biomechanical abnormalities causing patellofemoral pain/patellar instability?
weak VMO, tight lateral retinaculum, genu valgum, excessive external tibia rotation, pronation of the feet, weakness of the hip abductors and external rotators

1 = TUBS (traumatic, unidirectional, Bankart lesion to anterior/inferior labrum, surgery)
2 = AMBRI (atraumatic, multidirectional, bilateral, responds to Rehab, might require inferior capsular shift)
