Incidence and Risk Factors of Acute Traumatic Primary Patellar Dislocation

Abstract

Primary patellar dislocation is not a negligible cause of morbidity among young male adults. It can be concluded that hemarthrosis and MPFL rupture are the definite signs of an acute traumatic primary patellar dislocation. Height and weight were significant risk factors, whereas poor physical performance was not associated with primary patellar dislocation.
