Operative vs conservative treatment of traumatic patellar dislocation: results of a prospective randomized controlled clinical trial
Patellar dislocation is a common knee injury with mainly lateral dislocations, leading to ruptures of the medial patellofemoral ligament in most of the cases. Even though several prognostic factors for patello...

Influence of rupture patterns of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) on the outcome after operative treatment of traumatic patellar dislocation
Patellar dislocation usually occurs to the lateral side, leading to ruptures of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) in about 90 % of all cases. Reliable prognostic factors for the stability of the patell...

Knee injuries in children and adolescents
As more children and adolescents are involved in sporting activities, the number of injuries to immature knees rises. We will focus on three entities: ruptures of the anterior cruciate ligament, patellar dislo...

Article
A new classification system of patellar instability and patellar maltracking
To date there is no classification of patellar dislocations considering clinical and radiological pathologies. As a result many studies mingle the dislocation’s underlying pathologies, so that there are no con...
