The patella (knee cap)
The knee moves forward and backward in a hinge-like motion, allowing for flexion (bending) and extension (straightening) of the leg. It also allows for a small amount of rotation when the knee is partially bent.
It is perfectly fine if the knee cap moves just a little bit, because some people can do that. Though, if the knee cap moves too much, then it becomes a health concern.
The knee is not a fixed joint it is a pivotal hinge joint; they are completely different a fixed joint barely moves where as a pivotal hinge joint moves in four directions.

The knee is most susceptible joint for injury for an umber of reasons. The biggest reason is that the knee has limited motion and only moves in a door hinge fashion. It connects the two largest bones in the body.
In addition to simple flexion (bending) and extension (straightening) movements, the knee joint is designed to allow for rotation, gliding, and rolling movements.
A subluxated knee occurs when the kneecap partially dislocates from its normal position in the knee joint. This can cause pain, instability, and difficulty moving the knee. Treatment may include rest, physical therapy, or in severe cases, surgery.
Extreme pain radiating up the front, sides, or back of the knee. Trouble walking and keeping balance and weight on the affected leg. Knee cap moves easily when touched. Bruising and swelling around the affected knee.
