- NCT06169800Recruiting
Biologic patch for first-time kneecap dislocation surgery
This trial tests adding a biologic material (a substance that helps healing) to the standard surgery that repairs the ligament on the inner side of the kneecap. It is for people who have just dislocated their kneecap for the first time, to see if the biologic improves recovery.
Canmore, AlbertaAges 13–30 - 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 - NCT05759039Recruiting
Surgery choice for recurrent kneecap instability
This trial looks at whether transferring the tibial tubercle (a surgical repositioning of the kneecap tracking attachment) is a better option for people who have repeated kneecap slipping. It may help reduce symptoms and improve kneecap stability, depending on your specific knee anatomy.
Canmore, AlbertaAges 13–30 - 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.

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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for patellofemoral dislocation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 5 recruiting patellofemoral 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 patellofemoral 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 patellofemoral 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.
