Summary
This study follows 201 people who had surgery to fix a dislocating kneecap (MPFL reconstruction). Researchers want to see if the distance between certain knee bones and the height of the kneecap affect how well the surgery works. Participants will be tracked for at least two years to check if the kneecap dislocates again and how well the knee functions.
