Key result
Arthroscopic medial capsular-retinacular repair and lateral retinacular release for acute patellar dislocation resulted in 1 traumatic redislocation (3.3%) among 30 patients over 1 to 7 years.
Why the study?
Does arthroscopic medial capsular-retinacular repair and lateral retinacular release prevent redislocation in patients with acute patellar dislocation?
Observational (n=30)
Does arthroscopic medial capsular-retinacular repair and lateral retinacular release prevent redislocation in patients with acute patellar dislocation?
Arthroscopic medial capsular-retinacular repair and lateral retinacular release appears successful in stabilizing acute patellar dislocations.

May support arthroscopic repair for acute patellar dislocation; leaves open confirmation versus conservative care in controlled trials.
Ronald K. Yamamoto (1986) conducted an observational in Acute patellar dislocation (n=30). Arthroscopic medial capsular-retinacular repair and lateral retinacular release was evaluated on Traumatic redislocation. Arthroscopic medial capsular-retinacular repair and lateral retinacular release for acute patellar dislocation resulted in 1 traumatic redislocation (3.3%) among 30 patients over 1 to 7 years.
