NCT ID NCT06257836

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 26, 2026 · Updated 24 times

Summary

This study follows 160 children who had knee surgery to fix a kneecap that keeps slipping out of place. The surgery uses a piece of the child's own thigh tendon to hold the kneecap steady. Researchers want to see how well the knee works 2 to 8 years after surgery, and compare it to healthy children of the same age and gender.
