👉 Apoglypha is a term used in the field of medicine, specifically within the context of orthopedics and physical therapy. It is a term referring to a specific type of joint disease that affects the knee and can cause severe pain, stiffness, and movement limitations. The apoglypha occurs when the kneecap (patella) moves forward beyond its normal alignment, which leads to discomfort and often requires surgery or other interventions to correct it.
