Study of knee joint shape and patella dislocations in Faroese teens
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
This study compares two treatments for young people who have dislocated their kneecap for the first time: surgery to rebuild the ligament that holds the kneecap in place, or structured physical therapy (rehabilitation). The goal is to see which approach works better for getting people back to their normal activities.
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.
This study focuses on children and teens (25 or younger) who have had only one kneecap (patella) dislocation episode. It’s testing an approach for stabilizing the knee, aiming to help prevent future instability and improve outcomes for first-time dislocators.
This study looks at how knee movement during rehabilitation exercises relates to pain in people with kneecap pain (patellofemoral pain syndrome). It aims to help understand better ways to recover.
This trial compares two treatments for a first-time kneecap (patella) dislocation: conservative care (often brace/therapy) versus operative care (surgery). It aims to see which approach leads to better recovery and function after the first dislocation.
