AOSSM 2023 Annual Meeting Recordings no CME-Treatment of First-time Patellar Dislocation

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video summarizes the current evidence on first-time patellar dislocation. It states that this injury is common among adolescents, particularly females, with a recurrence rate ranging from 10 to 50%. Risk factors for recurrence include age, gender, contralateral dislocation history, family history, and developmental abnormalities. Anatomical abnormalities increase the likelihood of early dislocation, while those without abnormalities have a lower risk of recurrence but a higher risk of other knee injuries. The evidence suggests that initial treatment should be conservative, except in cases with associated injuries requiring surgery. Surgical treatment reduces the risk of recurrence but has higher complications. Individualized treatment based on risk factors is recommended for recurrent dislocation. More research is needed to determine optimal treatment approaches. The video ends by thanking Dr. Arendt, AOSSM, and the Patellofemoral Foundation for their contributions.
