Superior patellar dislocation is a very rare pathology, which happens in middle age. We report a case of spontaneous superior patellar dislocation, which occurred at 30 years of age. Differential diagnosis is patellar tendon rupture, which could be reliably excluded by clinical examination and radiographs. Reduction manoeuvres should be tried with diluted intra-articular local anaesthetic for h...

PURPOSE To conduct a systematic review of meta-analyses comparing nonoperative and operative treatment of patellar dislocations to elucidate the cause of the variation and to determine which meta-analysis provides the current best available evidence. METHODS A systematic review of the literature to identify meta-analyses was performed. Data were extracted for patient outcomes and recurrent di...

BACKGROUND Patellar dislocation occurs when the patella disengages completely from the trochlear (femoral) groove. Following reduction of the dislocation, conservative (non-surgical) rehabilitation with physiotherapy may be used. Since recurrence of dislocation is common, some surgeons have advocated surgical intervention rather than non-surgical interventions. This is an update of a Cochrane r...

Traumatic hip dislocation in children has a relatively rare occurrence. There are some residual complications, such as avascular necrosis of the femoral head, growth disturbance caused by premature fusion, neurological injury, recurrent dislocation, and posttraumatic arthritis. There is no consensus in the literature about the period of non-weight bearing after reduction. A rare case of a 13-ye...

This paper is based on a review of 180 cases of recurrent dislocation of the shoulder joint occurring in ground staff and air crew members of the Royal Air Force in the six-year period 1940 to 1945. During this period a total of 159 operations was performed for the relief of this disability. The task of analysing such a series has been facilitated by the fact that in a relatively small orthopae...

Combined HAGL and Bankart Lesions in an Adolescent Athlete with Ligamentous Laxity Recurrent Shoulder Dislocation

Anterior shoulder dislocation is a common condition that most orthopaedic surgeons will have to deal with in their practice. Nonoperative management of the initial traumatic anterior likely lead recurrent more than 90% cases younger active population. Recurrent can persist even after instability surgery certain cases. A detailed, accurate assessment patient paramount importance for successful t...
