Research progress on risk factors of recurrent patellar dislocation
Patellar dislocation is one of the most common knee injuries in children and adolescents.The risk of recurrent patellar dislocation remains high after the first dislocation,that can lead to reduced knee mobility and accelerated progression of knee osteoarthritis.At present,it is not clear which patients are prone to patellar instability or even repeated dislocation in the first dislocation.Therefore,generalisation of risk factors in patients with recurrent dislocations and categorical management using predictive models is necessary for clinical intervention.This review will analyzing anatomical and demographic factors contributing to recurrent patellar dislocation,explore the combined effects of risk factors and discuss the role of predictive models for recurrent instability and scoring.The aim is to identify those at high risk of recurrent patellar dislocation and to provide a basis for individualised clinical assessment and treatment.
