Video Summary

The video discusses a study called JUPITER (Justifying Patellar Instability Treatment by Early Results) that aims to better understand patellar instability in young patients. The study recruited patients with first-time dislocations and recurrent instability, dividing them into non-operative and operative treatment groups. Baseline characteristics such as demographics, dislocation history, and physical exam findings were collected. As of December 2021, 1825 patients had been enrolled by 22 surgeons from 12 sites. Female patients accounted for 62% of the cohort, with an average age of 19.1 years. The majority of patients had more than one dislocation, and 73% were allocated to the operative group. Recurrent dislocators had lower sporting-related activity scores but higher activities of daily living scores than first-time dislocators. The JUPITER study aims to provide valuable data on patellar instability.
