NCT03076008
The investigators plan to perform a prospective observational cohort study of patients undergoing MPFL reconstruction for the treatment of episodic patellar instability in the absence of significant degenerative disease. The investigators will follow these study subjects for a minimum of two years to monitor their functional and clinical outcome.
NCT05706363
The purpose of this study is to elucidate surgical techniques for reconstructing MPFL in the treatment of chronic patella instability. The two techniques are conventional technique with the gracillis and screw fixation in the femur which is compared with new technique where the QT tendons and anchor fixation in the femur are used. It would be investigated which technique provides the best stability with the least postoperative pain from the reconstruction and the lowest frequency of patellar reluxation.
NCT04554212
This research study is designed to allow health care professionals and researchers to answer many questions about whether a new type of physical therapy called blood flow restriction training (called BFRT) will improve recovery for those with patellar instability.

Do teen-age patients with a dislocated knee cap do better with or without a brace?
NCT02267564
This study aims to compare the clinical outcome of Medial PatelloFemoral Ligament (MPFL) reconstruction with and without tibial tubercle transfer for recurrent patellar dislocation.
NCT05184439
Between 2010 and 2012, 33 children and adolescents (39 knees) with recurrent patellar dislocation were treated with MPFL reconstruction using the adductor magnus tendon.The aim of the study is to assess the effectiveness of this surgical procedure in long follow-up. The outcomes will be evaluated functionally (Lysholm knee scale, the Kujala Anterior Knee Pain Scale, and isokinetic examination) and radiographically (Caton-Deschamps index, sulcus angle, congruence angle, and patellofemoral angle). This is a continuation of the research published in 2015 with longer follow-up at least 10 years. All available patients will be evaluated with the same protocol, using the same methods and devices. Functional outcome is planned to be measured with scales as above. In radiological assessment Merchant and lateral knee weight bearing view and additionally MRI will be performed. Isokinetic test will be performed in two speeds of 60 and 180 deg/s. Most of important isokinetic parameters such as peak torque, torque in 30 deg, time to peak torque, peak torque to body weight both for quadriceps and hamstrings will be measured and compared to those from former research. Dedicated statistical test will be used for both: analysis of present status and differences from former results.
NCT04556799
For severe recurrent patellar dislocation with poor patellar maltracking, derotation osteotomy is an effective clinical treatment. However, derotation osteotomy requires very high requirements for the surgeon. It is necessary to determine the osteotomy surface, control the axis and complete internal fixation in three dimensions. The deviation of the osteotomy surface may cause deformities such as postoperative knee valgus, knee hyperextension, or restricted extension. The hypothesis of this study is to design a 3D osteotomy template for derotation osteotomy with the aid of computer-assisted simulated surgery. Compared with traditional osteotomy, it can effectively improve the treatment effect of recurrent patellar dislocation due to poor patellar maltracking. The incidence of postoperative knee valgus shortens the operation time and reduces the number of intraoperative fluoroscopy. This study intends to adopt a randomized controlled study, and the selection criteria are adolescent patients with recurrent patellar dislocation, aged \>14 years, with a positive J sign. The experimental group used mimics 20.0 software to reconstruct the three-dimensional model of the patient based on the full-length images of the lower limbs in the weight-bearing position and the CT of the hip, knee and ankle before the operation. The osteotomy template was designed and 3D printing technology was used to make the osteotomy template for intraoperative osteotomy. The control group used traditional de-rotation techniques. The knee joint range of motion, patella stability, residual rate of J-sign, knee valgus angle, femoral anteversion angle, gait analysis, etc. were compared between the two groups after surgery, and the differences between the two surgical techniques were evaluated
NCT03040232
The purpose of this study is to identify predictors of future injury and disability following LPD. The investigators' long term goal is to improve longitudinal outcomes of athletes with LPD following surgical and non-surgical management. Currently, there is limited information available to clinicians regarding appropriate criteria for returning athletes to sports participation following LPD. The evidence produced by this study will provide necessary information to develop appropriate rehabilitation strategies that may reduce the risk for future patellar instability and associated patellofemoral joint dysfunction and pain.
NCT00551668
The objective of this prospective, randomized cohort study was to evaluate the clinical results between operative and nonoperative treatment of primary patellar dislocation.
