Acute Patellar Dislocation – Mini- Battle- Conservative treatment versus surgical treatment
67
followed up by the same group of orthopedists.
The patients who were operated always
underwent ligament reconstruction using the
same technique, always performed by the same
surgeons.
The results demonstrated that conservative
treatment led to instability or recurrence in
40% of the cases, while surgical treatment did
not lead to any recurrences or complaints of
instability.
Conclusion
We conclude that in active patients, acute
dislocation of the patella should be treated
surgically, and that the method of choice is
MPFL reconstruction. In cases of deinsertion
of the MPFL from the patella, with a clear
diagnosis using MRI, the ligament can be
reinserted in the patella.
