ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how certain physical differences in the knee can affect the success of treatment for patients who experience patellar dislocation, which is when the kneecap moves out of its normal position. Researchers will gather information from patients, including imaging tests like X-rays and MRIs, as well as their medical histories and physical exams. This will help identify any anatomical issues that might make it more likely for someone to experience a dislocated kneecap and see how these issues impact the effectiveness of treatments.

To be eligible for the trial, participants must have had a patellar dislocation but cannot have significant knee ligament injuries or prior fractures or surgeries in their lower limbs. Additionally, those whose dislocations were caused by serious accidents won't be included. The trial is currently recruiting participants of all genders, aged between 5 and 14 years. People who join can expect to undergo various tests to help researchers learn more about the connections between knee structure and treatment outcomes, ultimately aiming to improve care for future patients.
