A systematic review of outcomes reported in randomized controlled trials involving people with patellar dislocations.

Aims: The primary aims were to determine what outcome domains, outcome measurement instruments, and outcome measurement timepoints are reported in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving people with patellar dislocations. The secondary aims were to determine what primary outcomes were used and how a recurrent patellar dislocation was defined when this was used as an outcome.

Methods: We searched MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, the Cochrane Database of Controlled Trials, and trial registries (last search: January 2024) for RCTs evaluating treatments for people with a patellar dislocation irrespective of age or sex.

Objectively quantified lower limb strength recovery in people treated surgically or non-surgically after patellar dislocation: A systematic review.

Objective: Synthesize evidence on objectively quantified lower limb strength recovery in people treated surgically or non-surgically after patellar dislocation.

Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, SPORTDiscus, PEDro, AMED and CINAHL databases were last searched on July 30th, 2020 for randomized controlled trials and observational studies that objectively quantified lower limb strength in people (any age or sex) treated surgically or non-surgically after patellar dislocation.

Results: 24 studies were included (877 participants, median age 20.
