Study of knee joint shape and patella dislocations in Faroese teens
This study looks at how knee joint shape differences may relate to repeated kneecap (patella) instability or near-dislocation, and what that means long-term. It specifically includes teens from the Faroe Islands and asks about symptoms and knee function over time.
HvidovreAges 15–20 - NCT06086080Recruiting
Non-surgical care after first kneecap dislocation
This study compares non-surgical treatment for people who have dislocated their kneecap for the first time in the past week. It aims to find the best way to help the knee heal without an operation.
Cali, Valle del Cauca DepartmentAges 10–40 - NCT06883396Recruiting
Looking at why MPFL knee surgery fails
This study looks at why some people's kneecaps keep dislocating after a specific type of surgery (MPFL reconstruction). It aims to find risk factors that might cause the surgery to not work as well.
Redwood City, CaliforniaAges 10–35 - NCT06906419Enrolling by invitation
Knee surgery study for chronic kneecap dislocations
This study looks at how well a specific knee surgery (arthroscopic trochleoplasty) works over time for people who have had repeated kneecap dislocations. If you had this surgery between 2015 and 2023, your results could help doctors understand how to better treat this condition.
DrammenAges 18 years+ - NCT04849130Recruiting
Compare two surgical MPFL techniques for kneecap dislocation
This trial compares two ways surgeons rebuild a key ligament (the MPFL) to help stop recurrent kneecap dislocations. It may help you by checking which technique works better for stability and recovery.
BaselAges 14 years+ - NCT04554212Recruiting
Blood flow restriction therapy after kneecap instability
This trial tests whether a special exercise method called blood flow restriction training can help people recover faster and get back to running and pivoting activities after a kneecap (patella) that slips out of place. It may help strengthen the knee while you go through physical therapy.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 14–40 - NCT05924178Recruiting
Pre-surgery rehab to improve healing after knee ligament injury
This study looks at whether doing physical therapy before surgery can improve tendon healing, bone density, and joint cushioning after ACL surgery or patellar dislocation surgery. It may help you recover better and faster by optimizing your knee before the operation.
BeijingAges 18–45 - NCT05868434Recruiting
Surgery for unstable kneecap after dislocation
This trial looks at a surgical repair to stop a kneecap (patella) that keeps slipping out of place after a lateral dislocation. It’s intended for people whose symptoms did not improve with non-surgical treatments.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for patellar dislocation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 8 recruiting patellar dislocation studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a patellar dislocation trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a patellar dislocation trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
