Primary traumatic patellar dislocation

چکیده
Acute traumatic patellar dislocation is a common injury in the active and young adult populations. MRI of the knee is recommended in all patients who present with acute patellar dislocation. Numerous operative and non-operative methods have been described to treat the injuries; however, the ideal management of the acute traumatic patellar dislocation in young adults is still in debate. This article is intended to review the studies to the subjects of epidemiology, initial examination and management.

First-time Traumatic Patellar Dislocation
Acute patellar dislocations can result in patellar instability, pain, recurrent dislocations, decreased level of sporting activity, and patellofemoral arthritis. The initial management of a first-time traumatic patellar dislocation is controversial with no evidence-based consensus to guide decision making. Most first-time traumatic patellar dislocations have been traditionally treated nonoperat...
متن کاملSurgical Treatment of Primary Traumatic Patellar Dislocations
Traumatic patellar dislocation is an injury that can predispose an individual to recurrent instability, chronic pain, and loss of function. These injuries are usually associated with disruption of the medial patellofemoral ligament and often have osteochondral lesions present. We feel that restoration of the normal anatomy will provide the best chance for return to full function. Therefore, in ...
متن کاملBiomechanical Comparison of Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstuction and Distal Realignment for Patellar Instability
In recent years, the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) has been considered as the primary restraint of the medial patellar stabilizers [1]. Clinical reports have revealed that MPFL injury occurs in almost all patients with traumatic patellar dislocation, and attention has been focused on the repair and reconstruction of the MPFL in recurrent patellar dislocation and patellar subluxation [2]...
متن کاملSurgery in acute patellar dislocation--evaluation of the effect of injury mechanism and family occurrence on the outcome of treatment.
A retrospective study was made of 270 patients and 284 knees with acute patellar dislocation treated operatively. The mean follow up time was 4.1 years. Medical history revealed 21.1% of cases with previous dislocations and 15.6% of cases with family occurrence of patellar dislocation. The dislocation resulted from an athletic performance in 41.5% of cases. The sport events most often associate...
متن کاملRandomized Prospective Study on Traumatic Patellar Dislocation: Conservative Treatment versus Reconstruction of the Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Using the Patellar Tendon, with a Minimum of Two Years of Follow-up
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the surgical results from reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) with non-operative treatment of primary patellar dislocation. METHODS Thirty-nine patients (41 knees) with patellar dislocation were randomized into two groups. One group was treated conservatively (immobilization and physiotherapy) and other was treated surgica...
