Knee surgery study aims to predict who stays stable

NCT ID NCT03076008

Summary

This study is observing patients who have surgery to reconstruct a key knee ligament (MPFL) after their kneecap repeatedly dislocates. Researchers are following over 200 patients for at least two years to see if the natural shape and alignment of their knee bones affects how well the surgery works and whether the kneecap dislocates again. The goal is to better understand which patients are most likely to have a successful, long-lasting outcome from this procedure.
